Talli’s Cross-Country Season Ends With Awards Galore

Our high school frosh granddaughter, Talli, came home last night from her X-C team’s awards banquet weighted down by medals and ribbons.

Among her many awards, this grandpa thinks her making varsity second team all-league as a frosh while at the same time getting a State pin are two incredible achievements. Talli is still in the process of recovering from a leg injury which prevented her at the last minute from actually running at State (she was mega-bummed out), but just qualifying and being there was a marvelous accomplishment.

I may have mentioned this before, but she ran the third fastest frosh time ever at her high school, and that turned out to be the 10th best ALL-TIME, all ages, at Newberg. And she’s got three years left to run!

Congratulations, Talli, you’ve got a bright future on – and off – the track!
