Great Job Erin,

I was listening to Coach Cook and he stated the first time he notice you, was rnnning each night with a light on your head. He was impressed and only you know the rest? Hope you could share?

Good Luck in the biggest, greatest, sporting event in the world! THE OLYMPICS!

I just located this and wanted to send best wishes to you for Beijing. I’m so happy to see all of “Team Cook” headed for China that I am beside myself. Can’t wait to cheer you on at the “Bird’s Nest”. Gary

I love that you wrote this about her! I was on her soccer and basketball teams for a short period and she was always a stellar athlete. It’s amazing- all of the shops in Haddonfield have her picture proudly displayed. It’s really brought the town together.

This is amazing for her. I ran against Erin in high school and alwasy admired her performances. SHe is truley an athlete! Not only does she have talent and can she perform but she also possesses great sportsmanship and heart which are essential for athletes today (which serve as role models)! She was always the first to congradulate and encourage other athletes! She was always an inspiration! GOOD LUCK!

Larry,
No problem! I’m very excited to watch Erin on television this summer. What an incredible experience for her. I’m sure she’s thrilled to have such strong support.

Thank you for posting this!! I couldn’t agree with you more about how exciting it is to witness the phenomenal success of a local athlete. Also I find it interesting to observe the impressive strength Ms. Donahue possesses. Many women express wariness with regards to weight training, but she most undoubtedly serves as a testament to its numerous health benefits both athletically and aesthetically. Admittedly, she doesn’t have conventionally smooth form, but her amazing power coming off the last turn enabled her to muscle past for second place. We should all be so unconventional. Like countless South Jerseyans, I’ll certainly be rooting for her. Thanks again for the post!
