I enjoyed the article, but one crucial fact seems to be missing. Despite what had to be a tremendous sense of loss and disappointment, and with no reasons other than her own character and commitment to the integrity of the event, Allison Hill finished that prelim. She didn’t have to; she obviously was not moving on to the finals, but the fact that she did finish is what stands out to me and makes her performance particularly memorable. I’m so grateful that my own daughter is part of this program and has Alley as a teammate.
