Spilyay Tymoo, Warm Springs, Oregon
Runner to compete Down Under
My name is Tyler Anderson. I
am 17 years old, and a Junior at
Madras Senior High, where I run
cross country.
I am enrolled member of Con-
federated Tribes of Warm Springs.
I was invited to run cross coun-
try in Australia. I will be represent-
ing Team Oregon.
I was originally chosen based on
my 5k times at school for cross
country. This past cross country sea-
son I had a goal for Districts.
My goal was to place in the top
five. I placed first! I then ran at
State.
I had a goal for state as well,
and that was to place in the top
10. I finished the race in eighth
place.
I still have a balance of about
$3,500 left to raise to cover my
flights and lodging. In addition to
this I am also trying to raise spend-
ing money.

I will be doing various
fundraisers and collecting cans.

Then fill in your payment in-
formation and enter “Tyler Ander-
son” as the person who the pay-
ment is for. It will go directly to
my remaining balance.
I also accept donations and pay
it towards my account.
I want to thank everyone who
has helped this far in any way. I
really appreciate it.
These are memories I will have
forever.

tions can contact me through text
