I'm posting this announcement because this is a very talented XC runner and an outstanding young lady from Warsaw, IN.  She's also an XC teammate of my granddaughter who's senior season is being spent wearing the dreaded walking boot of doom due to a stress fracture.  And if  you're ever in Clinton, IA, be sure to stop and eat at her grandfather's italian restaurant.

Joey Rastrelli @JoeyRastrelli-
