Stranded in the volcano aftermath

·

As chaos ensued in airports around the world this week due to countless delays and cancellations caused by the Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajokull, I enjoyed my last few days in Accra, Ghana, before attempting to return to London. When I reached the airport Tuesday night, I was told that I could either take my spot on my connecting flight to Amsterdam and then find my own way home from there (with the airline not liable for any costs incurred by my transport beyond Amsterdam) or I could wait in Accra until the next available flight that they could guarantee me a seat on back to London on May 3.

Teter wins the Women's Little 500

·

It’s a Little 500 tradition. The rider who crosses the finish line first raises her hands — triumphant in victory. But when Teter’s Caitlin Van Kooten crossed the finish line, she was hesitant about raising her hands. A nightmare she had before the race made her second guess the historical gesture.

Turning someone down is uncomfortable and leaves one feeling hurt. We have all been the rejectee, just as we have all bashfully rejected someone.

Kappa Kappa Gamma rider and junior Katie Sauter said last year’s rider send-off brought tears to her eyes. The sorority, which has a consistently strong Little 500 team, had the best time in qualifications this year. The team will wear the green jersey Friday, and for that, Sauter said the entire house is thrilled.
