“Kelsey is a fantastic athlete to work with in practice and competition, on and off the field,” CHS track coach Shelly Wills said.  “She is respected and interacts well with her peers, and she receives many compliments from area coaches, athletes, and parents on her positive attitude and outlook. Her natural talent is surpassed only by her hard work, dedication, and desire to improve. While many athletes with exceptional talent become concerned only with their own progress, Kelsey is always aware of other athletes, both teammates and competitors, and is knowledgeable and supportive of their progress.”
