Cyclist’s death serves as safety reminder By CHRIS REYNOLDS Police Reporter On the sunny afternoon of Aug. 15, Debra Miller received fatal injuries while riding her bicycle on the shoulder of Highway 51. James Hazzard, 19, from Edmond was driving west, toward town, when he struck Miller, who later died at an Oklahoma City hospital. Miller was riding eastbound in the westbound shoulder and met the

Services were held for Miller at First United Methodist Church on Friday, Aug. 20. Cyclists are in constant danger. Despite many safety precautions, including a bicycle helmet, noth-
ing could be done to save Miller. Many students choose to ride bikes because of the convenience but it is important to remain as safe as possible. See BICYCLE Page 8A

EMILY NIELSON/O’Collegian The OSU Boren Veterinary Teaching Hospital provides a 24-hour clinic for pet owners.
Charitable foundation finances Vet. Med. renovation By Tiffany Lear Arts and Sciences Reporter A big gift to the campus’s veterinary medical hospital creates more space for small animal critical care. The Boren Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital, located on the corner of Farm Road and West Hall of Fame Av-
enue, recently renovated its small animal critical care ward thanks to private donations and a liberal gift from the Kirkpatrick Foundation, said Veterinary director Mark Neer. Originally, the ward was a small square room, about the size of a master bedroom, he said. Neer joined the faculty while the old room was still in use, and he said it was difficult
to have multiple-sized dogs, cats and other pets in the room at the same time. The new unit is double the size of the previous one. There is a large main treatment room, an area for cats and a quiet room for animals waking from anesthesia. The donations helped fund climate-controlled oxygen cages, EKG monitors and a ventilator, all of which
are wireless. Pumps and inflatable warmers called Bair Huggers can be operated through the sides of the cages leaving the front free from obstruction. “The clinic is staffed 24 hours per day, seven days per week, 365 days per year,” Neer said. See VET MED Page 7
Tonight Stillwater vendors will converge on the Library Lawn in an attempt to entice students and locals with freebies and prizes. Lights on Stillwater is an annual event held by the Oklahoma State University Student Government Association. Vendors, churches, businesses and organizations set up booths, sponsor giveaways, distribute grab bags and hold prize drawings. “I went when I was a freshman and I was actually on a Coke date. You walked around the Library Lawn and visit(ed) different booths. You get a lot of free stuff and there’s tons of drawings hosted by SGA,” said Andrew Perry, a finance senior. In addition to grab bags and prize drawings, booths offer free food samples, T-shirts and coupons. Lights on Stillwater is a way for students to get to know their new home, and the community can get to know their new customers.

Two classes will be allowed to keep the devices BY CONNER ROHWER AND CARA ANN ROB Features Reporters Select marketing research students were given iPads on the first day of school; 120 students in all. Not only do the students get to use the iPads for the course itself, but they also get to keep them. Professor Bill Handy said this is to make sure
they are comfortable using it, familiar with the device, able to download applications and use it effectively in their school work. Facebook statuses and Twitter updates aside, the iPad could mark a significant change in the way college classes are taught. Handy plans to use the iPad in a variety of ways. By prerecording lectures, the iPad will allow students to “jump into tactical discussions� rather than wasting time in
class giving background information, he said. “Hopefully I’ll learn how to use it as the class progresses,â€? said Jace Fields, senior. Aside from helping students inside the classroom, the iPad has many other functions. “I use it for a little bit of everything,â€? said Amanda Morris, strategic communications senior. “I check Facebook and (manage) my bank account‌I just bought a MacBook and I’m using
the iPad more.� The iPad presents another advantage by potentially replacing textbooks with a greener alternative. “It saves money on books,� said Elaine Seay, a strategic communications junior. “I think it’s a good idea to go electronic. It saves money in the long run for universities and people.� “I can’t imagine life without it,� said, Ryann LeGrand, senior.

OSU app developed for the iPhone Second generation already in the works By NICK MORRIS and Chace Chezem news editor Faculty and student volunteers have created the first Oklahoma State University iPhone app. Produced by the Office of Communications with the help of student volunteers, the first generation app will help make OSU more accessible for students and fans. The app will be free to download and contains five sections: campus news, traditions at OSU, multimedia content, a campus map and links. “I am definitely going to download the app to stay connected. It will be great to use,” said Craig Durkee, sophomore. “We are committed to using the latest tools to provide information and news about OSU. We greatly appreciate the student volunteers who did the programming for our iPhone app. “This is a first step. We are already looking at enhancing the app and expanding it to other devices,” said Gary Shutt, director of communications. A second generation app is being designed.

to the online classroom are a few ideas in the works. In the future, OSU plans to have specialized apps, which will allow access to information about the different departments and will be compatible with the iPad. “It will be much easier to access the website and D2L. I’m excited to use it,” said Ali Cocheres, a senior. The second generation app will be submitted this week for approval. The app should be available for download in two to three weeks.

Local farmers bringing slow-food to OSU Thursdays By ALYSSA CASARES SGA Reporter If you’re looking for something other than the traditional college breakfast, lunch or dinner, OSU has brought something new to campus this year. With the help of University Dining Services, local farmers have come together to offer students a variety of items including honey, fresh produce, organic items, breads, juices, canned goods and processed foods. The Farmer’s Market is located on the top level of the Student Union parking garage from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. every second and fourth Thursday of the month until Oct. 28. The market features one of the only two grass-based dairy farms in Oklahoma. “Most farmers feed grain,” Ron Crain, a vendor of Wagon Creek Creamery’s dairy products, said. “We don’t feed grain and we target a whole food health market. It’s rare to find this kind of dairy. We offer freshly made and frozen buttermilk that’s good for making pancakes and biscuits, Greek yogurt and a gourmet butter that’s deli-
cious.” Farmer’s Market offers the local community and students a healthier selection of products with prices that are comparable to the store. Marketing Director for Mema’s Authentic Salsa, Sonny Janes, said the real ingredients and lack of additives set the company’s products apart from competition. “We’re keeping it real. Our salsa has tomatoes, onions, cilantro, garlic and everything it should have with nothing added,” Janes said. “We make salsa the way it was intended to be made.” Not only is this new attraction beneficial to OSU and Stillwater, but is also helps the state. The Farmer’s Market allows local and statewide farmers and growers a place to sell their products and promote instate sales. “We are very serious about the sale of local foods and the importance it has to the economy in the state of Oklahoma,” Crain said. “By buying Oklahoma grown food, you are supporting Oklahoma farmers. You can taste the difference.”

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.”
YOU CAN’T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS ‘Still, the fact is that the Constitution of the United States of America guarantees the freedom of religion for everyone, Christian, Muslim, Jew or whatever. ’
By Temitope Akande Forum Columnist “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibit-
ing the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.” This statement is the text of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, the cornerstone on which America and the freedom was found. Many conservatives claim to be Constructionists— i.e. they believe the Constitution should be interpreted strictly as written; former Republican Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich is one them. However, the recent controversy over the building of an Islamic center two blocks away from Ground Zero in Lower Manhattan has exposed the hypocrisy of the so-called Constructionist. Gingrich has come out aggressively against
the building of the Islamic center. He issued a statement on his website saying, “there should be no mosque near Ground Zero in New York, so long as there are no churches or synagogues in Saudi Arabia.” This statement is ironic, then, because the Constitution Newt Gingrich claims to love guarantees the freedom of religion. And, since when did America start holding its society to the Saudi Arabian standard? Turns out, Gingrich and all the Republicans opposed to the mosque are not Constructionists after all. The position taken by most Republicans on the Lower Manhattan mosque reveals a disturbing trend among Conservatives. They always claim to be for strict adherence to the Constitution, but on most
issues they take a position contrary to the Constitution. With the issue of gay rights, for example, Conservatives are willing to deny homosexuals their constitutional rights, just because they disagree with the morality of homosexuality. Instead, Republicans oppose the separation of church and state, just to pander to their evangelical base. Recently, Conservatives have called for the repeal of the Fourteenth Amendment, an amendment that guarantees automatic citizenship for anyone born in U.S., in order to energize their anti-immigration base. These anti-constitutional stances reveal a Republican strategy of campaigning on the strict adherence to the Constitution while trying to deny the rights of a group of people when they feel it is popular or politically expedi-
ent to do so. To be fair, some people opposed to the New York Islamic center claim they oppose it out of sensitivity to the 9/11 family victims. Still, the fact is that the Constitution of the United States of America guarantees the freedom of religion for everyone, Christian, Muslim, Jew, or whatever. Though it may offend us, we should be willing to support the New York mosque and, by extension, people’s constitutional rights, even when it is unpopular to do so, because we cannot divorce having a right from the ability to express that right. Progressives have come out in support of the New York Mosque and the Constitution. Now Republicans, have to choose: are they for the constitution or against it? You can’t have it both ways.
Science: Human Insight into the Physical World By Joshua Damron Forum Columnist Science and technology have long had an undeniable influence in shaping the projection of human development. We are currently experiencing the pinnacle of its progress, and it seems that it is only going to keep skyrocketing. It’s worth noting that genetic engineering, communication on electromagnetic waves, and space explorations were once considered ridiculous science fiction rather than possibilities for the future. With that said, it’s important to remember what science is about and why it is human.
‘Science, at the end of the day, is just a way to think about the world. ’ It is easy to cast science into a cold, dull art of experimental evidence and calculation. However, science actually requires a tremendous amount of curiosity and creativity. Sometimes this process can prove difficult to appreci-
ate when you are banging your head over a chemistry or physics problem, but remember that those problems are only meant to reflect understanding of physical phenomena. Science is about exploring the physical world. It employs careful observation, intuition, and imagination. Without these elements, science wouldn’t exist. It is easy to get lost in mathematical descriptions and technical jargon, but it is important to know that these are only descriptions of something observed, and like stories or poems, the words or symbols mean nothing without imagination. Just like descriptions of
human emotion, science requires that you call on previous experiences to feel and understand what is being observed—i.e. feeling how a force causes a motion or developing a vision of the subatomic world. And, while imagination and creativity enable science, curiosity fuels it. Science exhibits almost childlike qualities. In our younger years, when our eyes are new to the world, we soak in everything around us, not yet knowing what things are or how we should process them. A scientist continues down that same path, wanting to know how we should think about the world around us.
Picking up a ball and dropping it repeatedly, while seemingly infantile, is not so far removed from Newton’s exploration of gravitational force. Science has many implications for how we think about the world and ourselves. Science and religion tend to collide as they both make disagreeing claims about the nature of reality. Some might argue that science actually ruins the wonderment of nature by describing everything in mathematical equations (like ruining the beauty of a rainbow by describing it as wavelengths of light). Neuroscience challenges some of our most precious notions such as freewill.
Technologies like nuclear weapons and genetic engineering have spurred many moral and ethical debates. Science, at the end of the day, is just a way to think about the world. It doesn’t capture the full human experience or unveil complete truths about existence. It is just curiosity and imagination used to explore the physical world. It has, however, significantly shaped our history and will continue to shape the future, and great responsibility in gaining the type of knowledge science unveils. Joshua Damron is junior in chemistry and has been involved in scientif ic research throughout his undergraduate career.

Mark Chestnutt headlines College Fest BY JUSTIN YEARWOOD Music Reporter
COLLEGE FEST
Jordan Woodruff can answer a lot of questions with ease; however, coming up with the number of people involved in making College Fest 2010 happen isn’t one of them. “I couldn’t tell you the exact number but it is definitely a very big group of employees,” said Woodruff, College Fest stage coordinator. “There are so many people, from the fans to the staff, that make the Tumbleweed what it is.” College Fest is an annual concert that kicks off the school year for the Tumbleweed Ballroom, a local dancehall and concert venue. The event starts Wednesday night and continues until Saturday. “The buzz has been really good,” he said. “Everybody looks forward to the event because everybody is back in town and ready to have a good time.” Unlike last year’s lineup, which included an acoustic

offers. “You have Brantley Gilbert and Colt Ford, who

push the barriers of country music, and then you put them with some of the biggest Texas artists like Jason Boland and Kevin Fowler, who are what you would call almost the modern day honky tonk hero and you sprinkle in Mark Chestnut, who was a big act in ‘90s country who people will remember.” “It is a very diverse and interesting mix that anybody, especially somebody college age, will love.” After Billy Currington and Jamey Johnson canceled, College Fest’s lineup changed. “Mark Chesnutt is going to be replacing (him) on Wednesday night, and it is just one of those deals where our owner (Hank Moore) was able to get on the phone and talk to some people and able to book Mark Chestnutt,” Woodruff said. “I think once people hear his music they will be pleased.” Package tickets were available until Aug. 24. Now, only day passes remain. Wednesday and Thursday tickets are $20. Tickets for Friday and Saturday are $30.

Stillwater’s first hookah bar opens 3. By KAITLAN BROWN Film and TV Reporter Students are making new friends at Kiko’s Hookah Bar, 1925 N. Boomer Road. “It’s a new, fun hangout here in town and it’s a different environment to get to meet new people,” said Alyssa Gobea, a nutritional sciences junior. The bar, which is the first of its kind in Stillwater, opened Aug. 7, just in time for the back-to-school crowd, “Kikos has a relaxed and peaceful atmosphere,” said owner Mike Kassm. “Sunday through Wednesday there is more of a chill mood, while Thursday through Saturday it becomes more of the party scene.” Around 50 different flavors are offered and any flavors can be mixed. So far, the most popular is double apple. More flavors could be coming depending on how successful the bar is, said Kayla Francis, an employee. Kiko’s is open to the 18 and older crowd, but offers 16 different selections of beer for anyone 21 or older. Domestics start at $2.50 and imports at $3.50. Francis said the bar will soon offer weekly specials as well. Kikos also has a full time DJ from Fusion Events, who plays mostly techno, rap and hip-hop. “We weren’t very busy in previous weeks, but this past weekend we were swamped,” Francis said.
The bowl is then covered with foil and hot coals are placed on top.

When Sufjan Stevens released “All Delighted People,” the name had instant meaning for his fans. Finally, the sun has risen on the dark-age for Sufjan lovers. After four years of reclusion, new sounds are igniting the old flames that burned hot in 2005 “when we all wanted to go to Chicago… in a van with our friends.” But this EP softens even the excitement of new material. Running eight tracks, just under 60 minutes, you begin to wonder if you should have done some light stretching before tackling this EP. So lace up those Nikes, kid. Sufjan means business.

Vet Med: From Page 1
The hospital is open to the public and OSU students, sees small and large pets and has a portable care vehicle for farm calls to equine and food animals within 30 miles. Many veterinarians in surrounding areas and other states refer patients to the hospital, which
treats about 1,100 emergency cases a year, Neer said. There are also several specialists dedicated to other areas of veterinary medicine. The hospital also offers wellness checkups. These services and clinic combined generate 70 percent of the veteri-
nary school and hospital’s operating budget, he said. “The teaching hospital has a two-fold mission: we are here to serve the people of Oklahoma offering premier veterinary care 24/7 for their pets and animals, large or small, and to train the next generation of veterinarians and specialists.”

Staying on city roads, wearing protective and reflective gear, and riding with the flow of traffic are important safety practices. “Something cyclists definitely need to be aware of is the amount of traffic there is in Stillwater during the school year,” said Brandon Neal, local cyclist. “We also have very different policies concerning bicycles, people may notice we don’t have bike lanes as many states up north do, our bike lane is the shoulder which is shared with cars.” Student cyclists should be sure to pick up a free bike permit from Parking and Transit Services which is required to park a bike on campus. Bikes that do not have a permit are in danger of being impounded by the OSU Police Department and a parking citation. Bicycle permit information is available at http:// parking.okstate.edu

The Daily O’Collegian Sports Cowboy offense responds well in practice Tuesday By CORINNE MEYERSON Sports Editor After Saturday’s scrimmage, coach Mike Gundy said he was less than impressed with the teams’ overall performance. “Defensively we were in the right place most of the time. Thought we tackled well, we were physical,” Gundy said. “Offensively, we didn’t take care of the football. Too many dropped balls and we never could get any momentum.” The team had two days off and came back strong at practice on Tuesday with a performance more appropriate for having its season opener in less than two weeks. “We had fresh legs and the temperature was perfect for the players and we had a good workout today,” Gundy said. “I thought all three phases were good and players were into it mentally.” Quarterback Brandon Weeden said he was impressed with how the team came back from a less than mediocre scrimmage. “We looked totally different today than we did on Saturday,” Weeden said. “We were really flying around and I think
the receivers got their legs back underneath them a little bit. Overall Saturday it was bumpy, a bumpy ride, but we responded well today.” With the first game coming up, Gundy said the teams’ goals are pretty basic. “We want to be sound fundamentally,” Gundy said. “Tackle well, block, take care of the football. Throw, catch, all those basic fundamentals. That’s really important this early in the season.” Junior safety Markelle Martin said he was happy to see the offense have a better day, but that sometimes means a decline in the defense’s performance. “The offense was just hitting all cylinders today,” Martin said. “The defense couldn’t seem to slow them down today and it’s kind of frustrating, but at the same time we understand that we can’t have the best of both worlds at practice. We can’t have great defense and a great offense at the same day at practice.” Martin said, more than anything, he is ready to be lined up against someone who is not a teammate. “I think we’re all ready right now,” Martin said. “We’re ready to just hit somebody.”

Cowgirls looking to build on last year’s success By BRYAN URBACH Sports Writer Coach Colin Carmichael said the way last season ended was bittersweet. The Cowgirls got knocked out of the NCAA Tournament with a loss on a penalty shoot out against No. 10 USC. “We felt great about how we were playing but, of course, we really just wanted to keep going in the NCAA Tournament and see what happened,” Carmichael said. “We do feel like we have a little unfinished business but the way the kids played late in the year was fantastic so we couldn’t really have asked for a whole lot more.” Kasey Langdon, Siera Strawser and Bridget Miller were the team’s senior leaders last year and their departure will be noticed, particularly early on. “Luckily we didn’t lose quantity, but we definitely lost quality,” Carmichael

said. This year the No. 19 Cowgirls are filled with youth, and not necessarily less talent, just unpolished talent. “We’ve got players here that can step up,” Carmichael said. “I tell our kids all the time, Langdon, Strawser and Miller were not the finished article when they stepped on campus but by their junior and senior year they were. We’ve got other kids who are similar, Treadwell, Lopez, Dougherty, they’re coming up on that junior year now and we expect them to have the same sort of learning process that the other kids went
through.” The team finished strong last season by winning the Big 12 championship and Carmichael said he is equally optimistic about the upcoming season. “We’ve set a level of expectation for ourselves to where we want to compete for a Big 12 championship every year,” Carmichael said. “We think we have the tools in place to do that this year and that’s definitely one of our goals.” Junior Kyndall Treadwell said she knows the role she is expected to play in order to repeat last year’s late success.

“We’re a pretty young team and we lost three good seniors, so it’s time for a lot of us juniors and seniors to step up,” Treadwell said. Junior midfielder and defender Elizabeth DeLozier and midfielder Annika Niemeier are the teams’ captains this season. A few other names that Carmichael said could help change the game are Treadwell, who scored the lone goal in Friday night’s Bedlam victory, as well as Katie Richardson and Megan Marchesano, who can score from their midfield positions. Carmichael said he is especially pleased with sophomore goalie Adrianna Franch. He said she believes she will be even better than last year, which would seem hard to do. Franch had a record-setting freshman season filled with enough accomplishments to suffice a typical players’ career. She set OSU records
with, and led the Big 12, 11 shutouts, a 0.61 goals against average and a .843 save percentage. Franch was also named to the All-Big 12 First Team, the Big 12 All-Newcomer team and to the TopDrawerSoccer.com All-Rookie First Team. “I think you’re going to see a better keeper than last year,” Carmichael said. “She’s 100 percent healthy now too, so that’s going to help her.” DeLozier praised Franch’s improvement, as well. “She’s doing phenomenal,” DeLozier said. “Since she was a freshman she was doing great but now it’s a whirlwind turn. She’s incredible. I respect her, everyone on this team respects her. Her attitude on and off the field is great and we needed her to step up this year. She’s obviously a huge part of this team for our success.” The team started the season off strong with a Bedlam win and is traveling to play Oregon on Friday and
then to No. 3 Portland on Sunday. “It’s a massive trip; we want to challenge our kids to go out and play some of the best teams in the country,” Carmichael said. “You might lose a game or two along the way but it’s going to make you stronger and I certainly think over the last few years we’ve done that.” Carmichael said he believes the team has the talent to go far. “Getting to the Sweet 16, obviously we want to get to the NCAA tournament but we’ve been so close for four years in a row now and that’s got to be one of the goals now that should be in our reach if we take care of business,” Carmichael said. “We want to go out there and play good soccer and compete. Sometimes you’re going to win and sometimes you’re going to lose, but I think at the end of it if we feel like we gave it our all in every game we’ll be quite happy with that.”

OSU’s Hunter nominated for Lowe’s Senior CLASS award From Wire Reports STILLWATER - Oklahoma State running back Kendall Hunter is one of 30 NCAA football bowl subdivision nominees for the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award, it was announced Tuesday. To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must be classified as an NCAA Division I senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence community, classroom, character and competition. Hunter has received several distinctions for his classroom work, including second-team academic AllBig 12 in 2009, a spot on the President’s Honor Roll for a 4.0 GPA and honorable-
mention Scholar-Baller in 2009 and 2008. Hunter is also a two-time recipient of the Oklahoma State Academic Achievement award and a member of the Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll. Hunter has helped with the Harvest II Food Drive, made numerous visits to pediatric cancer patients in Tulsa and Oklahoma City and he’s also been a guest speaker on leadership and hard work at local high schools in Oklahoma and Texas. In 2008, Hunter was a first-team All-American, first-team All-Big 12 and the seventh-leading rusher in the nation with 119.6 yards per game. He started just two games in 2009 but for his career, Hunter aver-
ages more than 6 yards per carry. He was named to The Sporting News’ All-Big 12 freshman team in 2007 and ranks 10th in school history with 2,633 career rushing yards. Hunter has also been clocked at 4.38 seconds in the 40-yard dash. Lowe’s will announce the award winner at the conclusion of the regular season. The candidate class will be narrowed to 10 finalists midway through the regular season, and those 10 names will be placed on the official ballot. Ballots will be distributed through a nationwide voting system to media, coaches and fans, who will select the finalist who best exemplifies excellence in the community, classroom, character and competition.

Courtesy of Feuersaenger.at Danilynn Welniak helped win the gold medal for Team USA in Stockholm, Sweden.
OSU student recaps her time with Team USA Column by DANILYNN WELNIAK Sports Writer This summer while most college girls were packing their swimsuits, I was packing my helmet and shoulder pads. While they were dreaming of the beach and the ocean, I was dreaming of a gold medal and the American flag draped around me. I had been waiting for this moment from the first time I set my eyes on a football field. Forty-five of the Independent Women’s Football League’s most elite athletes were selected from teams across the country to represent the USA in the Women’s World Championship in Stockholm, Sweden. The selection process consisted of applications, essays, athletic resumes and performance-based statistics. I had been training for the tryout all year. Any time I had between classes, homework and sorority life, I was preparing myself. Each applicant was required to remain active on their home team for the 2010 season to be considered for Team USA, forcing me to drive from Stillwater to Dallas every weekend to practice with my team, the Dallas Diamonds. Last season was my fourth season with the Diamonds. I’m one of the lucky few who earned a starting position as a rookie and I have been a starter ever since. In our spread offense I play slot receiver. In other formations the coaches will keep me in as a wide-out because I love to block. My teammates call me the Wes Welker of the
IWFL because my playing style and personality bear a scary resemblance to his. I’m small, tough, quick, agile and I love inside routes. Most receivers dread running full force into linebackers 50 pounds heavier, but I get an exhilarating rush from it. Our program has five championship titles since its founding in 2002, making us the team to beat in the IWFL. Not to mention we had seven players selected for Team USA, tying Chicago with the most. The training schedule for Team USA was intimidating. When we reported to camp in Austin, Texas, we were immediately immersed in meetings. The expectations were high. If you got hurt, you were sent home. If you whined, you were sent home. If you couldn’t learn the new plays quick enough, you were sent home. After being overwhelmed with new information and a strict schedule, we were finally issued our equipment and practice gear. Everything was emblazoned with a bold USA symbol, but nothing took my breath away like the jersey; “USA” on the front and “Welniak” on the back. I earned the right to be here and now I needed to earn my spot all over again. Every day of camp started at 7 a.m. Breakfast, morning meeting, first practice, lunch, second practice, dinner, positions meetings, offense meeting, team meeting, success period, 30 minutes to get back to our rooms and lights out at 11 p.m. The workouts were rigorous and gut wrenching and required every ounce of determination I had. The first practice was
tough but it was the second practice that separated the starters from the rest. The temperature exceeded 100 degrees and the turf melted through our cleats. Sometimes it was impossible to focus and instinct took over. I didn’t get much time to rest and recuperate because a lot of my rest time was spent doing interviews and going to photo shoots. The only day I got a break was when they took me out of practice early. The owner of the league said I had 30 minutes to shower and look my prettiest for a photo shoot for four different magazines. I was ecstatic as I quickly packed all of my football equipment. When I stood up my teammates were laughing at me. “What?” I asked. “It must suck being the face of the IWFL,” the quarterback said. “Have fun with the rest of practice,” I sarcastically replied as I smiled and trotted to the van. The day Coach K announced first and second team we all tightened our lungs. When I heard my name I jogged to my position in the huddle and took a huge sigh of relief. When I looked up the entire group of starters were smiling. This was it, we were the nation’s top dogs and we finally
knew it. The next day when we arrived at the Austin airport we were dressed exactly alike in our USA wind suits and baseball caps. We had enough time to relax for about an hour so I pulled out my book and began reading. A young man approached me and asked if we were the USA women’s soccer team. I laughed and informed him that we were the women’s national football team and we all played professional football. I showed him my helmet and said I played inside receiver. He chuckled, rolled his eyes and continued chatting with the people he was with. I get that reaction all the time so I have learned to not take it personally. We were jet lagged the morning we arrived in Stockholm but that didn’t stop the coaches from scheduling practice only a few hours after we arrived. We walked to a local park and put on our helmets and practice jerseys. It turned into more of a walk through than an actual practice but it didn’t matter to the people passing by. Families stopped to take pictures and men gawked at the ponytails that hung from under our helmets. Six countries were com peting in the tournament: Austria, Canada, Sweden,
Germany, Finland and the USA. We came in seeded first followed by Canada and Germany. Our first opponent was Austria. Our motto was “One Team, One Mission.” Our ultimate objective was the gold medal but our goal was divided into three sub-missions. Mission one: defeat Austria without revealing the strengths of our offense. Mission two: conquer Finland and establish our dominance. Mission 3: Demolish whomever we play in the gold medal game and show the world that it’s called American Football for a reason. The weather was perfect for football; mid-70s and 80s all week and when Sunday came I was in the best shape of my life: physically, mentally and emotionally. And let me tell you, there

is nothing more breathtaking than putting on that USA jersey and realizing that you are playing the game you love for something bigger than yourself. In this moment I represented all of the girls who look up to me, and all of the people who tore me down and told me I couldn’t play football because I was a woman. This moment was for them. Team Austria took the field as we waited in the tunnel. “Today you are making history!” Coach K screamed. The sound of our fists hammering into our thigh pads engulfed the dark tunnel and pounded with the rapid beating of our hearts. The world was our stage and we were prepared for a battle that would change it. See USA Page 5B

Everyone knew we were ready. The fear I saw in the cornerback’s eyes spread like wildfire throughout their team. They were in the lion’s den and we were the lions. We took the field and won the coin toss. We deferred as an intimidation tactic. We kicked off and I was one of the first players down the field to make a tackle. The only people I had hit in the past two weeks were my own teammates and, as any athlete knows, it’s not the same as taking on an enemy. I was battling my anticipation to get in the game. Each bone-crunching hit the linebackers laid on Austria’s running backs was adrenalinefueling. Now it was the offense’s turn. Every muscle in my body resembled a race horse; tight and dying for the starting gate to open. It felt like and eternity as I sprinted from the huddle to the line of scrimmage. I got in my stance and waited patiently for the cadence. “DOWN…Seeeet… HIT,” our quarterback Sami
roared. I exploded into Austria’s cornerback. She hit the ground painfully hard. I should have gone down field to continue blocking but I wanted to soak in this moment as I towered over her. She respectfully stayed off me at least five yards the rest of the game. We proved what we had intended to in that game.It was official, our defense was impenetrable and our offense unstoppable; final score: 630. Team Finland posed as much of a threat to us as Austria and we defeated them in a similar fashion. On the morning of July 3, Team USA warmed up in the same park where we started our journey. Our presence was known this time and more people arrived to take pictures. After practice when I bent down to pick up my helmet it wasn’t there. I looked around and noticed it in someone’s hand. Sitting at the corner of the field was my mom, brother, and sister dressed head-to-toe in red, white and blue. They said they couldn’t
come; it was too far and too expensive. Yet, here they were for the gold medal game in Stockholm, Sweden. My throat tightened and my eyes got blurry. I was beyond excited to see them and I couldn’t wait for them to be here when we made history. The Canadians were defeated before they even stepped onto the field. They feared us and it showed. When time ran out, the score read 67-0. Immediately, I grabbed the American flag and ran around the field in triumph. The game didn’t live up to its hype, but getting that gold medal around my neck certainly did. It wasn’t just the medal that made it all worth while. It was the friendships I made, the lessons I learned, and the fact that I was among the first. We were the first women’s national football team for the USA and we were amazing. Teams I once despised are the homes of my closest friends. I have friends in Austria, Germany, Finland, Canada and Sweden who love American football as
much as I do. Success has a price and 45 amazing women paid every cent of blood, sweat and tears to be the best in the world. We came home with a gold medal. On our way home most of my teammates and I had a layover in Denver, Colo. While we were waiting for our flight I sat down to read a book and de-stress. I had my helmet propped up against my leg because I wanted to carry it everywhere with me. A young man walked up
and sat down a few seats away from me. He glanced at me, then my helmet and then back at me. “What position do you play?” He asked. I was startled and confused. “I’m a slot receiver,” I replied hesitantly. “I couldn’t help but notice your helmet and I heard you guys brought home the gold. Congrats,” he smirked and then got up and walked off. It was the total opposite of how I began my trip. The

world finally knew who we were and the knowledge of our existence was all I needed to make my hard work worth it.
