I'm en route to Louisiana for my dad's track meet and his primary event is the 200-meter.

![Wikipedia screenshot of a biography of Evelyn Kitagawa, which reads: "She was born as Evelyn Mae Rose, in 1920[4] in Hanford, California, to a family of Portuguese Catholic descent. After earning a bachelor's degree in mathematics from the University of California, Berkeley in 1941, she began working for the War Relocation Authority, which ran the internment camps of Japanese-Americans during World War II, as head of its statistics unit. In one of the camps, she met her future husband, Joseph Mitsuo Kitagawa, who had come to the US in 1941 as a divinity student and became an Episcopalian minister while interned. After marrying him, her family disowned her and she lost contact with them."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:37il2b455gdb47xs5fsbtfw7/bafkreidrxtgsuufidxcvvy6bbvnuzquzn7zywy74cwsocwilcfk537jn6y)
