"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

"content": "\u003cp>Unveiling a new policy after months of controversy and debate over players taking a knee or otherwise making statements during the national anthem, the NFL says all of its athletes and staff \"shall stand and show respect for the flag and the Anthem\" if they're on the field.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Personnel who choose not to stand for the Anthem may stay in the locker room or in a similar location off the field until after the Anthem has been performed,\" the league said in \u003ca href=\"http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000933962/article/roger-goodells-statement-on-national-anthem-policy\">its new policy\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The possibility that the NFL might issue a blanket restriction on protests during the anthem has been discussed for months, and the buzz gained new momentum this week. But the NFL Players Association says, \"The NFL chose to not consult the union in the development of this new 'policy.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The league's decision goes against what the NFL had told players \"about the principles, values and patriotism of our league,\" the union said, adding that it will review the policy with an eye toward mounting challenges if elements of it contradict the current contract.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Athletes' behavior during the anthem and flag presentation became a national conversation and a political talking point after NFL players used the traditional opening of their games as a moment to protest police brutality and racism in America. That effort was led by former San Francisco 49er Colin Kaepernick, who took a knee during the anthem — and who went from being a starting quarterback to being an unsigned free agent in the spring of 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite Kaepernick's absence from the game last season, NFL teams struggled to craft coherent responses to players' desires to highlight social issues — and they also faced intense public scrutiny, including from President Trump, who \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/09/24/553214114/trump-embroiled-in-two-controversies-about-professional-sports-race-and-culture\">condemned players\u003c/a> who refused to stand and urged fans to boycott the NFL until teams quashed the protests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Saying that the new policy was meant to put the focus back on the game, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said on Thursday, \"It was unfortunate that on-field protests created a false perception among many that thousands of NFL players were unpatriotic. This is not and was never the case.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The protests took many forms, from players taking a knee to sitting on the bench as others stood on the sideline. In many cases, teams' players were split on the issue; in others, entire teams took a knee — as in September of 2017, when Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones linked arms with his players and took a knee. But one month later, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/10/10/556764495/dallas-cowboys-owner-jerry-jones-players-cannot-disrespect-flag\">Jones threatened players\u003c/a>, saying if they \"disrespect the flag,\" they would be benched.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The NFL's 32 teams can develop their own rules about the process, as long as they follow the new policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A club will be fined by the League if its personnel are on the field and do not stand and show respect for the flag and the Anthem,\" the NFL said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kaepernick has been pursuing a collusion case against the NFL, accusing teams of banding together to keep him from being employed in the league. This week, a report emerged that his attorneys' investigation found documents that backed up his claim that, as he neared 30 years old, he was good enough not only to play in the NFL, \u003ca href=\"https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/05/21/kaepernick-collusion-case-proving-that-teams-viewed-him-as-a-starting-quarterback/\">but to start\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eric Reid, who was the first player to kneel alongside Kaepernick as his teammate in San Francisco, said he's also being punished for that stance. At 26, he has gone unsigned despite starting at safety for five years; earlier this month, \u003ca href=\"https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2018/05/02/eric-reid-files-grievance-nfl-collusion-colin-kaepernick-49-ers/572581002/\">Reid filed a grievance\u003c/a> against the NFL and its teams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We chose to kneel because it's a respectful gesture,\" Reid wrote in \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/25/opinion/colin-kaepernick-football-protests.html\">an editorial for the New York Times\u003c/a> last fall. \"I remember thinking our posture was like a flag flown at half-mast to mark a tragedy. It baffles me that our protest is still being misconstrued as disrespectful to the country, flag and military personnel.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The NFL Players Association says that its members \"have shown their patriotism through their social activism, their community service, in support of our military and law enforcement and yes, through their protests to raise awareness about the issues they care about.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2018 NPR.

This is not and was never the case.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The protests took many forms, from players taking a knee to sitting on the bench as others stood on the sideline. In many cases, teams' players were split on the issue; in others, entire teams took a knee — as in September of 2017, when Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones linked arms with his players and took a knee. But one month later, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/10/10/556764495/dallas-cowboys-owner-jerry-jones-players-cannot-disrespect-flag\">Jones threatened players\u003c/a>, saying if they \"disrespect the flag,\" they would be benched.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The NFL's 32 teams can develop their own rules about the process, as long as they follow the new policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A club will be fined by the League if its personnel are on the field and do not stand and show respect for the flag and the Anthem,\" the NFL said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kaepernick has been pursuing a collusion case against the NFL, accusing teams of banding together to keep him from being employed in the league. This week, a report emerged that his attorneys' investigation found documents that backed up his claim that, as he neared 30 years old, he was good enough not only to play in the NFL, \u003ca href=\"https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/05/21/kaepernick-collusion-case-proving-that-teams-viewed-him-as-a-starting-quarterback/\">but to start\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eric Reid, who was the first player to kneel alongside Kaepernick as his teammate in San Francisco, said he's also being punished for that stance. At 26, he has gone unsigned despite starting at safety for five years; earlier this month, \u003ca href=\"https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2018/05/02/eric-reid-files-grievance-nfl-collusion-colin-kaepernick-49-ers/572581002/\">Reid filed a grievance\u003c/a> against the NFL and its teams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We chose to kneel because it's a respectful gesture,\" Reid wrote in \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/25/opinion/colin-kaepernick-football-protests.html\">an editorial for the New York Times\u003c/a> last fall. \"I remember thinking our posture was like a flag flown at half-mast to mark a tragedy. It baffles me that our protest is still being misconstrued as disrespectful to the country, flag and military personnel.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The NFL Players Association says that its members \"have shown their patriotism through their social activism, their community service, in support of our military and law enforcement and yes, through their protests to raise awareness about the issues they care about.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2018 NPR.

You gotta go straight down.’ I didn’t really know what it meant. But I figured somebody was talking to me,” he said, \u003ca href=\"https://new.surfline.com/surf-news/rodrigo-koxa-breaks-guinness-world-record-80-footer-nazare/23691\">according to Surfline\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I got my wave, I let go of the rope, I started to use my rail to angle towards the shoulder, but then realized, if I used my rail, I’d never get deep. And then I remembered: ‘Go straight down.’ When I said it, I remembered my dream. I turned and I almost fell, but then I got my feet again and went super fast. I’ve never had a big wave like that where I didn’t use the rail at all. Just went straight down. It was amazing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, you might have some questions — besides the obvious ones about where, exactly, this world-class surfer’s self-preservation instincts ran off to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first of these being: How do these waves get measured, anyway? After all, it’s not as if Koxa had a mountain-size yardstick and a team of scientists standing out in the lineup with him on that fateful Nov. 8.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here we’ll \u003ca href=\"https://www.surfer.com/features/how-do-you-measure-the-worlds-biggest-waves/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">defer to Surfer Magazine\u003c/a>, whose photo editor, Grant Ellis, has numbered among the Big Wave Award judges. Paraphrasing Ellis, the magazine describes “a crude science, but a science nonetheless”:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>“It starts with a handful of big-wave statesmen and experts gathering in a room in Huntington Beach, [Calif.], discussing each of the nominated rides at length, and then busting out the trusty ol’ ruler and calipers. Using oversized images of the waves, and the known heights of each surfer, they estimate the [surfer’s] crouching height in the moment the photo was taken, creating a scale that they can then use to determine the overall height of the wave, from trough to lip. And then, bingo — you’ve got a reasonably accurate measurement on a monster wave.”\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>And if you’re wondering why the gentle rollers at your home break — should you be so lucky to live by the beach — look nothing like Nazaré or its fellow famed big-wave brethren, such as \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gS6LJgfR1AM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Northern California’s Mavericks\u003c/a> or Hawaii’s Pe’ahi, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usi5iMoS-l0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">perhaps better known as Jaws\u003c/a>, NPR’s Scott Neuman was helpful enough to \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2013/01/31/170753700/portugals-monster-the-mechanics-of-a-massive-wave\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">explain back in 2013\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The key at Nazaré, as with several other spots, rests with what’s going on well beneath the wave you see stalking the surface — a deep underwater canyon that concentrates the strength of the waves, then slams them into suddenly shallow waters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So, first you’ve got really deep water,” Micah Sklut, forecaster and founder of \u003ca href=\"https://www.swellinfo.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Swellinfo.com\u003c/a>, told Neuman at the time, “and then as it approaches the shore it gets very shallow, and that enables the waves to climb really, really big all of a sudden.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, Koxa wasn’t the only surfer to win a Big Wave Award on Saturday. Breathtaking rides by several other surfers earned honors as well. That includes prizes for \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/aoXFglyfKP8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">best overall performance\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/rKS7epeBQnA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">best paddle\u003c/a> (for paddling into the wave, rather than using a Jet Ski) and naturally, \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/KDHxfiCJfog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">best wipeout\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Happily, you can watch all of them below and check out \u003ca href=\"http://www.worldsurfleague.com/bigwaveawards\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">all of the nominees here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Ride of the Year and Tube of the Year (at Jaws in Maui)\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_xSWTZFMg4\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Paddle of the Year: Aaron Gold (at Jaws)\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKS7epeBQnA\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Women’s Overall Performance of the Year: Paige Alms (at Jaws)\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoXFglyfKP8\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Men’s Overall Performance of the Year: Lucas Chianca (at Nazaré)\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCeYT3izBiY\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Wipeout of the Year: Andrew Cotton (at Nazaré)\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDHxfiCJfog\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2018 NPR.

Keating was an artistic kid with a big imagination. “It would turn the other kids off from me,” she says, “so there was some isolation and a bit of bullying.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like many young teenagers, Keating also struggled with her self-image. “I was just an awkward chubby girl who was deemed weird from an early age.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After getting into an argument with her family, Keating decided she was done with Indiana. She moved to San Francisco and started going to college. She saw San Francisco as a place where everyone was free to be themselves. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But during her freshman year, Keating’s insecurities about herself — both physically and mentally — began to creep up on her. One day, she went to a doctor who wrote in his chart that she was overweight.

Like a lot of people, Keating thought pole dancing was mostly just for strippers. But she was curious, so she checked it out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it was a revelation. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you’re up in the air,” Keating says, “it’s kinda like flying.” On the pole, she discovered she was stronger than she ever knew. Keating says she remembers when doing a pullup seemed impossible. “Now I can just pull myself up no problem.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Keating ditched her gym membership and now devotes most of her free time to pole dancing at a studio in San Francisco. One of the most challenging tricks she has learned is called the “Hey Girl.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To start, MaKayla climbs the pole. She then sandwiches the pole into her bicep and squeezes as hard as she can. “I usually get a big bruise after this one,” she says. Then using her arm and abdominal muscles, Keating swings her hips around the pole and spreads her legs open into a straddle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It hurts so bad,” she says, “but it looks really cool so it’s worth it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Keating is using her skin as a kind of friction brake on the pole. It’s why pole dancers always wear a minimal amount of clothing. It’s not just about sexuality. It’s about technique and safety. A pole dancer’s body is in a constant battle with gravity. You want to climb up. Gravity pushes you down. You want to flip yourself upside-down? Gravity wants to keep you right-side-up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11660633\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11660633\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">MaKayla Keating (R) and her dance partner practice their routine at San Francisco Pole and Dance. \u003ccite>(Samantha Shanahan/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But when Keating calls her family back in Indiana, she doesn’t talk about pole dancing. “If you were in my shoes, would you tell your mother?” she asks. “If I were just to say, ‘Oh, I’m pole dancing,’ she’s thinking stripper in the club, booty twerking, dollar bills being thrown.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pole dancing didn’t become synonymous with sensuality until the 1920s. Dancing with, on or around a pole has been part of many cultures. It actually began hundreds of years earlier, and has roots in 12th century Chinese acrobatics. Poles were covered with rubber instead of metal and performers would do tricks fully clothed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, pole dancing is just one more growing fitness trend — like yoga or pilates — with over 70 studios in California alone. And yes, you can take a “sensual” or “exotic” pole dancing class in a studio. Or you can dance to Broadway show tunes and Disney songs. One San Francisco teacher has even built a routine around a poem about sexual assault.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSAYPVCupuc\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Keating’s first competition is at a small college in San Bruno.

Keating was an artistic kid with a big imagination. “It would turn the other kids off from me,” she says, “so there was some isolation and a bit of bullying.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like many young teenagers, Keating also struggled with her self-image. “I was just an awkward chubby girl who was deemed weird from an early age.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After getting into an argument with her family, Keating decided she was done with Indiana. She moved to San Francisco and started going to college. She saw San Francisco as a place where everyone was free to be themselves. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But during her freshman year, Keating’s insecurities about herself — both physically and mentally — began to creep up on her. One day, she went to a doctor who wrote in his chart that she was overweight.

So she started going to the gym every day — sometimes twice a day — and within a year lost 70 pounds.

Like a lot of people, Keating thought pole dancing was mostly just for strippers. But she was curious, so she checked it out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it was a revelation. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you’re up in the air,” Keating says, “it’s kinda like flying.” On the pole, she discovered she was stronger than she ever knew. Keating says she remembers when doing a pullup seemed impossible. “Now I can just pull myself up no problem.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Keating ditched her gym membership and now devotes most of her free time to pole dancing at a studio in San Francisco. One of the most challenging tricks she has learned is called the “Hey Girl.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To start, MaKayla climbs the pole. She then sandwiches the pole into her bicep and squeezes as hard as she can. “I usually get a big bruise after this one,” she says. Then using her arm and abdominal muscles, Keating swings her hips around the pole and spreads her legs open into a straddle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It hurts so bad,” she says, “but it looks really cool so it’s worth it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Keating is using her skin as a kind of friction brake on the pole. It’s why pole dancers always wear a minimal amount of clothing. It’s not just about sexuality. It’s about technique and safety. A pole dancer’s body is in a constant battle with gravity. You want to climb up. Gravity pushes you down. You want to flip yourself upside-down? Gravity wants to keep you right-side-up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11660633\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11660633\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">MaKayla Keating (R) and her dance partner practice their routine at San Francisco Pole and Dance. \u003ccite>(Samantha Shanahan/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But when Keating calls her family back in Indiana, she doesn’t talk about pole dancing. “If you were in my shoes, would you tell your mother?” she asks. “If I were just to say, ‘Oh, I’m pole dancing,’ she’s thinking stripper in the club, booty twerking, dollar bills being thrown.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pole dancing didn’t become synonymous with sensuality until the 1920s. Dancing with, on or around a pole has been part of many cultures. It actually began hundreds of years earlier, and has roots in 12th century Chinese acrobatics. Poles were covered with rubber instead of metal and performers would do tricks fully clothed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, pole dancing is just one more growing fitness trend — like yoga or pilates — with over 70 studios in California alone. And yes, you can take a “sensual” or “exotic” pole dancing class in a studio. Or you can dance to Broadway show tunes and Disney songs. One San Francisco teacher has even built a routine around a poem about sexual assault.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/MSAYPVCupuc'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/MSAYPVCupuc'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Keating’s first competition is at a small college in San Bruno.
