AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — The best small high school track team in Texas is once again a freckle-faced girl named Bonnie Richardson.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSf3vgz5Yir9g4ESV-sHuqIdd-FlJhA9mbU5DyChODvvu_vfjKwAlKM-rmf2ZAwTHnZVWV-TOhMiQyNQlyjFTKrbfwKC2jgnZ0h6qZVW2eXWG1bXeXf9m72cfyeF3y2Cw6oPpR/s320/bonnie.jpg)

She's a total Rock Star! I hope colleges are lining up to offer her academic and athletic scholarships.
ReplyDeleteI read of Bonnie in a "Sports Illustrated" magazine waiting for my husband in the dr's office. They wrote an excellent piece on her accomplishments; I hope she was able to secure a scholarship.
