Hey I Know that Kid!

I was reading today's sports section in the W-S Journal and saw the picture of a young lady I've had the pleasure of coaching for a couple of soccer seasons, which caused me to sit up and blurt out, "Hey, I know that kid!"  It seems that Kristen Henson, a freshman at Reagan, is a rising track star after coming in third in the 3,200 meter race and fourth in the 1,600 meter race at the state 3-A track meet. Here's the paragraph about her from the story:

Kristen Henson of Reagan, who ran a little track in middle school and is also a junior-varsity volleyball and basketball player, flashed a ton of potential as a distance runner by finishing fourth in the 1,600 and third in the 3,200. Henson a time of 5:13.63 in the 1,600 and in a humid and sun-baked 3,200, she gutted out a time of 12:30.73.

I can tell you from personal experience that she's quite a good soccer player but I think it's probably her fourth favorite sport so we may not be seeing her on the fields in the future as she pursues volleyball, basketball and track.  One thing I know she brings to every sport is the heart of a lion and a competitive streak to match.  I think we'll be reading a lot about her in the coming few years.  Congrats Kristen!
