I find it interesting that The Post chose to recognize only one of the outstanding local women who competed in the U.S. Olympic team trials in Boston on April 20.
Over the past few weeks, you did mention Samia Akbar of Herndon several times. However, you neglected to recognize (or even notice) that several other local athletes -- Kristen Henehan of Silver Spring, Lisa Thomas of Alexandria and Susannah Kvasnicka of Great Falls -- were also in this elite group of only 150 women who qualified to compete for one of the three slots going to Beijing. Considering that Henehan won the 2007 Marine Corps Marathon and has been locally based since her days at Georgetown University, I find it strange that local talent goes unnoticed by your sports department.

A Lot of Hockey Left
I know Washington is a basketball town, not a hockey town. But would it have hurt so much for you to have had a story Thursday on the Stanley Cup playoffs' second round, which began that day? Do you really think Washington Capitals fans are going back to sleep because their team was eliminated?
I've talked to a number of "new" fans, and they are deeply into the game. If you wonder why your readership is suffering, here's another reason: I have to get my hockey news via the Internet.
