Whether she lives on Whidbey or in far-flung destinations, Grace Roberts is a winner.
The latest in a long line of distinguished athletes from her family, the former Wolf is now a multi-sport star in Eastern Washington.
Jay and Jennifer Robert’s daughter is a freshman at Chelan High School and was recently honored as an Athlete of the Month by the Mountain Goats.
Grace, who played sports in Coupeville through middle school, is currently playing softball after having stellar volleyball seasons as both a school and club spiker.
In being honored during the month of March, the youngest Roberts was hailed for her integrity.
“Grace is respectful, reliable, and always does what is asked of her,” Chelan sports officials said in a statement.
“She responds well to criticism and is quick to own and correct mistakes.”
The diamond dandy is following in the footsteps of big sisters Madeline and Ally, who were both standout athletes during their own Coupeville High School days.
Grace’s cousins, Lindsey and Landon Roberts, as well as Uncle Jon Roberts, mom (as Jennifer Eelkema) and pops, and Grandfather Sandy Roberts all made their marks as Wolf athletes.
Jay Roberts is still on the CHS track record board from way back in 1986, when he helped set the school’s 4 x 100 mark.
Doing him two better, Lindsey Roberts appears three times on that same big board, appearing under the 4 x 1, 4 x 2, and 100 hurdles.
