You couldn't ask for more than Robin Reynolds gave Team USA fans at the Youth Olympics in Singapore.  After qualifying as the #2 seed out of the prelims earlier in the week, Reynolds left golden and wearing the stars and stripes!  Her gold-medal winning time in the 400 meter dash: a new huge PR of 52.57!  That is four-tenths faster than any other high schooler in the nation this year.  What redemption for a young lady whose regular season was plagued with injury!  This is the first annual Youth Olympic Games, sponsored by the International Olympic Committee and is the 14-18 year old equivalent of the real deal.  Reynolds is entering her junior year at Miami Jackson so we've got two years more of seeing her shine as the nation's #1 single-lapper.
