On Saturday my niece competed at the Utah State Track & Field Championships in discus. She has struggled a little bit this year but that only made her more determined to succeed. After failing to make the finals at the BYU Invitational, she started working with a private coach and all of her hard work paid off! With a 126' throw, she became the 2017 4A State Champion! I am so proud of her, not only because she won, but because she didn't give up and she used adversity to become even better! Her whole life has been about overcoming adversity and I truly believe that she can do anything she wants if she sets her mind to it! Good job, Tashena!
Note: She is the only sophomore on that podium!
