Leah has 3 older brothers and one younger sister so she is always on the move.  She maintains 3,0 or higher in school and has been involved in school activities since grade school.  Fourth grade she started running joined the basketball and football team.  She is in 7th and attends Thompson Jr High and she not only joined the tall flag team she is still running.  She is on their track team being coached by Mr. Easter. She runs the 1500 relay (4 times around that track in this heat.), 800 relay and finishes 3rd or 5th and just last week she ran finished 3rd in the 1500 relay and her first team relay and Thompson Jr High finished first.  After her first meet as a jr high student she comes to me and tells me that running in grade school was easier then Jr high. I had to laugh..  She is always setting goals for herself and works really hard at anything she does.  Her great sportsmanship, determination to reach her goals only to set even higher goals is amazing. She is really outgoing and her  personality and attitude along with her love for school and sports is truly an asset.  We are blessed and so proud of her and her achievements and accomplishments.

Thank you,
