Abby’s Big Week!

Abby's week included the Miss Parkview Pageant, the Parkview Cross Country Awards Banquet, and her early acceptance at UGA. Join us for a photographic overview of her week.

The first event of the week was the Miss Parkview Pageant. No need for many comments here - cruise through the photos and enjoy. It was a grand evening, and Abby was chosen first runner-up. Congratulations Abby!!!

The Parkview High School Cross Country Awards Banquet was the next event. It drew a good turnout of athletes, parents and grandparents.

Abby recieves her third cross country varsity letter award from Coach Ashby, a Parkview Cross Country coach. She also received a Scholar Athlete Award and Coach Richard King's "Coaches Choice" award for her progress over her four years on the cross country team.

Each Parkview Cross Country coach selected one male and one female runner for their "Coaches Award". Coach King, pictured here with Abby, worked with the female runners and picked Abby for his award based on her progress, both as a runner and as a person, over the four years she ran for him. Abby was honored and quite emotional over being selected. We are proud of you, Abby.

The week was capped by Abby receiving notice from the University of Georgia that she had been accepted for admission in the fall of 2018 in their "Early Action" program. UGA accepts only the best applicants via their "Early Action" process, which considers only grades through the end of junior year, the rigor of a student’s curriculum relative to the curriculum offered at his/her high school, and, results of either the SAT or ACT. We are quite proud that Abby qualified. Needless to say, Sharon and John are quite relieved as UGA was Abby's first choice.

Congratulations Abby!!!!!
