This week for Team Teen Tuesday we are highlighting Lashaye Whitfield!  Lashaye’s first race with us was the Astros Run in February of this year.  She ran with my friend Amy and was hooked after her first race.  Lashaye is not only a Team Teen runner, she is also a Junior Board Member and works hard to recruit teens to the program.
