Kelly Proves Height Doesn’t Matter

Submitted By: Kelly Anderson | Age: 14

Last year in Jr. High, everyone laughed when I said I wanted to join Track and Field because of my short stature.

My dad said “Honey…if you want to do it…then DO IT”

So I did…

At the first track meet of the year I won the hurdles, high jump AND 440…if you believe in yourself anything is possible!!
