It woudl have been nice of the projo and Art Martone to actually make a positive statement about Elizabeth Beisel as it's opening line to this article. Yes, she came in 4th, but come on, she also brought Rhode Island to the forefront of the world sports stage in doing so, even here in Belgium. GREAT JOB Elizabeth - Keep it up!

Great job, Elizabeth!!!! Saunderstownians are very proud of you as I know the entire state of RI is. Enjoy this wonderful experience you have the opportunity to enjoy.
On the other note... Would one expect anything less from the Journal to bash everything and anything they can? This paper isn't worth the paper it's printed on! It's a rag that should be shut down. OK stepping down off the soap box.
