Time Flies By…Like Shelby Hayes.
Shelby Hayes
Once upon a time walking along the hallowed halls of Winter Park High, two people met and fell in love.
Sandy Gantt and Neal Hayes. I think Sandy goes by Sandra now. Guess that’s really the same name — just more mature version.
Not like someone who would go by a completely different name as an adult than she did in high school.
Such a person must be spending lots of time on a couch in doctors’ offices untangling lots of “issues” — or rambling on ad nauseum on some whacked-out blog.
Back to Sandy and Neal.
They got married and had a daughter and son. Their daughter is a senior at Winter Park High running track like her mom and dad.
She is really gifted.
A few weeks ago she won three gold medals in the 4A Florida state championship track meet. And was the first girl in 4A history to win gold in the 4×8, 1600 and 3200.
I know the pressures on a young gifted runner, especially since my age group first place finish in the Madison in May 10K. And no matter what you might have heard, my six year old did not trip anyone on race course ~ at least not intentionally.( Besides, it can never proven otherwise.)
Shelby’s future plans are to attend Florida this fall on a full track scholarship. She’s adorable, smart and a Gator. Good it get any better?
Bet Sandy and Neal are very proud. You did super good.
Here is the link to Shelby’s interview the night of the state meet. I tried to embed the link — but it didn’t want to cooperate.
Click here to see her interview. She’s too cute and a Gator. Woo!
WOW.. this is such awesome.. I’m so happy for SANDRA and her family…
And for Sandy too! 🙂
I know. It’s fun to watch someone’s child do so well. Take care Mary.
