Ally Roberts, she was born awesome.
She is heir to a pretty impressive legacy.
Her grandfather (Sandy Roberts) was a legendary Coupeville High School coach.
Her dad (Jay Roberts), aunt (Sherry (Bonacci) Roberts) and uncle (Jon Roberts) were all premier athletes during their times as Wolves.
Her older sister (Madeline Roberts) is going to play softball on scholarship in college.
So it’s a good thing Ally Roberts is pretty dang awesome herself. Otherwise, she might not have much to talk about during family get-togethers.
But the CHS freshman, who celebrates her 15th birthday today, has already accomplished much in her short time as a Wolf.
Volleyball player, and sparker of the one-woman “Ally Rally.” Irrepressible cheerleader whose smile lights up the entire gym on its own. Both nice accomplishments.
But put her on a horse, and that’s where Ally really rules.
Her collection of ribbons and trophies is building at a staggering rate, and at the top of the pile is a state championship she claimed in intermediate trail riding at the Washington State Fair in September.
That event is no walk in the park, consisting of a rider taking their horse through a course that can include gate (open and close), bridge walk-throughs (cones or poles), jog- throughs (cones or poles), jog-overs (poles on the ground), back-throughs (L’s, U’s, serpentines), loping (circles, over poles) and sidepassing (i.e. to a mailbox).
What’s next for the pint-sized spark-plug? More ribbons, more trophies, more awesomeness, and then, probably total freakin’ world dominance.
So learn her name now, cause you’ll be saying it a lot over the next few years.
