Houston Running: Waverly's Spring ISD Point of Pride Award

Houston Running

One of the leading sources for the discussion of Houston-area (and Texas as well) road racing. Focus and attention will be given to Houston-area runners, specifically HARRA members, that compete in outside-of-the-area events as well as those who do interesting things that aren't captured in the various media outlets, such as Inside Texas Running, Runner Triathlete News and Roberta MacInnis' Running Notebook in the Houston Chronicle (all fine publications and columns but with limitations too).

About Me

Name: WalkSports.com

Location: Spring, Texas, United States

I'm a mid-to-the back of the pack runner who probably enjoys promoting runners more than I do running myself ... I've completed 21 marathons (with a 4:47:32 PR! in Austin) and 52 half marathons (with a 2:09:58 PR! in Oregon) since November 2003 ... I've done a marathon in 12 states, half marathon in 23 and an event in 30 states and one Canadian province ... I have a 13-year-old daughter, Waverly Nicole, who completed her first half marathon in January 2006, made only two B's each of the last two years, was the only sixth grader to sing a solo (Carrie Underwood's Don't Forget To Remember Me) in their choir program (adding Taylor Swift's Tim McGraw in '08) and scored a 19 on the ACT in December 2007 as a seventh grader ... Waverly and I are members of the following clubs -- the Seven Hills Running Club, HARRA and The Woodlands Running Club ... I'm Marathon Maniac #308 ... I edit HARRA's Footprints in Inside Texas Running and write a column for Runner Triathlete News called, "Talking the Talk" ... I'm also the running columnist for the Courier of Montgomery County ... I'm a three-time winner of TAPPS' Sportswriter of the Year Award as well as TABC's Golden Hoops Award.

Waverly's Spring ISD Point of Pride Award

Waverly is pictured here with her Spring ISD Point of Pride Award that was given to her at the School Board meeting. They handled the student recognitions -- and there were lots! -- in a very classy way. (This, of course, was for her scoring high enough on the ACT in December to be recognized by the Duke Talent ID program.)

She walked across the stage and shook the hand of Dr. Ralph Draper, the Superintendent, and then four of the School Board members. (And not the one member who has been in the news with the North Forest ISD.)

She'll be recognized for this again Thursday night at Twin Creeks Middle School's Award Ceremony and then Saturday at the Montagne Center in Beaumont on Lamar University's campus by the Duke University program itself.
