Hook Music editor Stephanie Garcia covers the local music scene, but she can also cover some serious ground. Garcia, a recent UVA graduate and a member of the school’s track and field team, made Team USA’s roster for the 2010 NACAC Under-23 Track & Field Championships this weekend in Miramar, Florida. She’ll be representing the USA in the 3000m steeplechase competition. Back in June, Garcia finished 10th in the steeplechace at the 2010 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships. She was the first Cavalier to advance to the finals of the event since Dawn Cleary did in 2003. Go, Stephanie!

* People say the darndest things, but language stronger than "darn," insulting words like "stupid," ethnically or racially disparaging language, and comparing people to Hitler usually results in deletion of the comment and may get you blocked from further commenting. Ditto for posting unverified and/or potentially libelous allegations, and even off-topic digression. And to avoid spam, any comment containing more than two weblinks gets eaten by Bigfoot.
