Elmhurst has had very
good volleyball teams these past four years, with deep NCAA runs the last two
seasons. For some reason, Clare has been
close to a number of the players.
One of them is her roommate,
Katie. In Friday’s regional win, Katie
rolled her ankle. This meant a night of electric
stimulus followed by ice so she could be taped up for Saturday’s regional finals. According to Clare’s texts (like tickertape
updates in olden days), Katie went out a warrior, as did the rest of their team
in defeat.Later, we talked on the phone, as always. “My athletic career has coincided with theirs,” Clare told Michele. Autumn’s warriors fall. Long live winter sports, then spring.
