This created an issue for me because I had no background, so it was like starting from scratch. Many of my original goals were accomplished, but the most important was to install a stretching program in my fitness routine. I am happy to say that I have maintained a flexibility routine within my fitness program. I have…

It is a story of how all the coaches, my parents and I all finally came together to face a huge obstacle that occurred. It was the Conference Track Meet in Arlington, Nebraska in Mid-April. So, as you can guess it was chilly and a little bit rainy. I had a pretty packed day ahead of me. I suppose, to be the top competitor that year in track. I had placed…
