Does anyone know how Airelle is doing? It was awesome to see her at the track! I know in our corner we just want to get sick watching her get helped off the track!!! Any info would be great!! Hope you feel better Airelle!!

I am in the same boat as far as her concern and will call tomorrow to get the full details. In talking with Stacy Patton it appears that it is just soft tissue re-damage from her surgery. Well, at least that is the hope. Her ACL should be fine since it is now much stronger, but she will know more once she visits the good docs at TOSH this week to get a check up.

In my opinion, as long as she checks out OK, Arielle is looking stronger and better than she ever has. She has some big, and achievable, goals ahead of her with the Worlds so it is not a big surprise that she pulled from Sunday for what was a training race.

Arielle is an amazing athlete and we wish her only the best.

Just Talked to Lori and Arielle is doing better. Seems to be a little something floating in the knee, mabye a small torn lig or tendon however the ACl is intact. Whew! The doc wants to scope it however Ari wants to wait til the after the Worlds so she can race it.
Arielle has full range of motion in it again and the knee is sore. She is still planning on going to the Worlds!
We wish all the best!
