Emily's Sporting Life

Emily Sheppard is a phemonenally accomplished athete. During her high school years, she lettered in track and field, basketball, volleyball and tennis. Her main sport, however, is track and field. Emily has been selected to numerous national teams in her native land of Canada and plans to take her career in track to the Olympic level someday.

 

To the left is a picture of some of the girls on Emily's track team here in Hawaii. And below is a picture Emily high jumping.

 

One of Emily's dreams is to one day make it to the Olympics. She knows that this dream comes with a price. Emily must train for more than 20 hours a week to physically ready her body for competition. It's a difficult task but Emily is always up for a challenge.
