friends taught me so much
about how they do track, and
it’s probably something I
won’t forget.”
All three girls added an
optional stop in Hawaii to
their 12-day trip, where they
enjoyed snorkeling and more
time with new friends.
Each of the girls held
fundraisers for several
months leading up to the trip,
including a firewood raffle,
golf scramble, spaghetti feed
and cookie dough sales, as
well as working at other jobs.
They all said the trip was
well worth the effort.

her favorite activities includ-

field and then a zoo, where

and saw emus, wombats and
koalas.

to shop and eat at different
restaurants, but more impor-

others have to say.

Australian girls,” Wright

to our level is so much more
