Mia Littlejohn carries a visible reminder of a soccer ball she stopped with her leg while scrimmaging against a boy’s U15 squad recently.
It’s been a packed summer for the Littlejohn sisters.
Coupeville High School freshman Mia and CMS 8th grader Kalia have been bouncing all over the place, changing sports from day-to-day and always coming out near the top.
Mia played on a Central Whidbey Little League Juniors All-Star softball squad that went undefeated through the regular season, captured a district crown and won a game at the state tourney.
A top track runner for CMS, her little sis fine-tuned her running game, teaming up with mom Dawn Hesselgrave to compete in last weekend’s Race the Reserve.
While also finding time to attend a five-day basketball camp in Spokane with brother Wiley Hesselgrave, the duo have been playing select soccer with the NW United premiere team.
An off-Island squad, it features one other Whidbey player, Malia Hansen.
The squad is currently competing in the last tourney of the summer, the Super Cup. With three games in the books, and one big goal from Kalia, NW United has advanced to Sunday’s title game.
A win there would give the squad its second tournament title of the summer.
