When you think about athletes dealing with adverse weather conditions, usually rain, snow , or wind come to mind. Newburyport's Molly Laliberty can attest to the difficulty of a beautiful sunset. To illustrate how difficult, I laid on the ground behind her to see, and show, exactly what she saw. The fact that she managed to make saves is a testament to talent and concentration.
