So it's the last two weeks as a sports reporter at the Missourian, and well it's trying. It's trying in the sense that there is essentially NOTHING going on locally that's news. Yes, yes, there is always something as my editor Grant says, but truthfully it feels efforts looking for things are fruitless.
I'm going to MU Fan Day on Sunday the 5th to cover that. There we go :)
Also, I am keeping up with former MU shot-putter Christian Cantwell about his performance in the shot--put in London at the Olympics on August 3rd. WE are trying to get a story beforehand, an attempt that resulted in some back channel searching and luckily finding--finally--a London USTF contact who was so sweet and emailed me back this morning that she would get in touch with Christian and try to get something worked out for me....will let you know soon.
So wisdom of the day? Don't give up. Look through those back channels and wayside roads....they will sometimes produce "fruit".
