She was a sprinter from a young age and still holds her Jr. High School record for the 100 yards, yes “yards”.
She loves working with kids, seeing how hard they work, how they grow during the season and over the years. She loves track and field and wants the kids to have fun and love it too. Being from Oregon, she travels to Eugene most track seasons to watch the big meets and some football too. Go Ducks!!!
