High jumper invites Lyon-goers to make leap to Facebook group

Sue's a personal trainer.

Sue McDonald

Sue McDonald is the W50 American record holder in the high jump, going 1.57 (5-1¾) in June 2013. Add another credit to Sue’s list: founder of a social media site for athletes to chat about Lyon worlds. She has launched this closed Facebook group. To join, send Sue a friend request. She writes: “We will be sharing information in regards to the meet, travel plans, hotel arrangements, transportation, budgets, how to prepare for an International trip, what to be ready for. My hope is that we all become friends and benefit from the shared information and cheer each other on.” Great idea! This augments my Forums, but with better functionality.

Sue’s FB description continues:

Can’t wait to meet all of you in France this summer! Please introduce yourself once you are added with your name, where you are from, what your events you are planning on competing in at the Championships, etc.

If this group reaches a critical mass, it could be the go-to place for learning how to get around and deal with Lyon issues (as well as brag about accomplishments).

Team managers (like America’s Phil Greenwald) might even use this communicate with their countrymen.

Best of luck to Sue and everyone headed for Lyon!
