Anybody happen to have any updates on the girl who was injured at Grayslake yesterday?  Very unfortunate incident… hopefully everything is ok.

I spoke with Riley’s mom this morning.  Per Mom:  Riley has bumps and bruises and a broken left wrist.  Riley is in good spirits today and her wrist will be casted this week. 

Riley is a brave and very caring young lady – While she was being tended to, she was more concerned about a family member she was standing near.

If anyone would like to send Riley a get well card, please send it to me and I will forward. 

Thank you very much for your concern.

Hey everyone, I am Riley’s Dad.  During the sprint at Grayslake, I heard and saw the crash from my periferal vision (as I was sprinting for 3rd) and during the cool-down lap I had a feeling that something happened.  Sure enough, it was my daughter, who unfortunately was in the path of the pile-up.

She is doing great. Clean break in her left wrist, and no set or surgery required. She’s getting her cast today, in fact, upgrading from the splint she’s been wearing since Saturday.

My wife Jody and I greatly appreciate the thoughts.  It was a very scary situation, but it came out ok in the end.  Remember to tell your loved ones to stay back at races, especially near the finish line. It never dawned on me before, but now we know!
