Jess is a returning district and state qualifier in the butterfly and she knows what to expect in these meets.

I think it'll be one of the most exciting district track meets we've had in a while. It's going to be a battle. I've got it where there's four teams that are going to score over 100 points and three teams scoring over 130. It's going to be fun.

No one knows what to expect, and we all may be in for some surprising results in state finals this year.

And it was always the stories that needed the telling that gave us the rope we could cross any river with. They balanced us high above any crevasse. They made us be natural acrobats. They made us brave. They met us well. They changed us. It was in their nature to.

I think people in my district expect me to work with the president. It doesn't mean we have to agree all the time. I don't feel any extra pressure.

Norway felt this is a district that has been neglected by the state.
