TROY — There was a time, in the not too distant past, when Christine Moser dreamed of palm trees and California sunshine, of spreading her wings and seeing the great big world that lay beyond what her bespectacled eyes could see.
“I have video proof of it,” said Moser, a senior pole vaulter on the Troy girls track and field team. “There’s a video of me at Welcome Stadium saying I wanted to get out of here and go to the West Coast and never come back. I still love the West Coast and would like to go there some day, but I think I’ll give it another four or five years.”
