She enjoys a strong family life with her two younger sisters, both of whom are involved with running and basketball. Ashley s mother gives a lot of credit to the Catholic education and the values which her girls have learned from that environment. She does not work outside the home, but gives herself completely to educating and supporting their children and activities. They openly discuss right and wrong as a family and find it works well for them. Ashley quickly acknowledges the support she receives from her family and appreciates what Mom and Dad have sacrificed to help her with her running. <br>For recreation, Ashley prefers outdoor activities, especially those involving family and friends. Like all teenagers, she must deal with peer pressure involving training rules, drinking, and other bodily abuse. Since most know of her stand, she gets a lot of kidding about her lifestyle. Those who know her best are confident she handles this challenge well. Track coach David Morton is a believer in weight training, specifically the squats and the explosive lifts. He uses Ashley as a model for other athletes and parents to advertise the benefits of this type of training. When I asked Coach Morton regarding his views of over-head lifts for runners, his reply was the most explosive lifts are the most beneficial, and they all go overhead so we love them!<br>QĻaO'&=!YvD0Vt2v s}nib+KbܠPq \Q58LhXڝ;֭^j)5IncN9k7ܣz~ 3, 3ib9)#E]>=Kq$QU"ujf+zTcb` 1ڢR*2ԙjϢ%Gw< zu4CenOZNIގ /z)isG@RN :ջ[j:0ȫnk8S<<8k~:ҮzV0x)+0%slpz1h|CxzMx*U*(85w|; L'-J&NipsUwHlxnK$p:d^m&@'M[Zt+yU8Ϧj-LǫxU ~[w$n=V_G)qaUfX[1Qf4t,G> Vː94Go񬰆>9*'<5Qf W)>ѱh䊳jL<+Rd@,`2 ?Jm&E> ʮ "].Fw1d /*4'ͱ"Y`?TqCcG4&TʷOpj֧0jGXcd:?ԔK8O.F-U>.1K*r?t0=s҈V.-b%uDfnQ 3[mw̃ǽ2aӎT/0:?dh[o wgm:N rA0ҭt\QMMlL2,ShW?VK ֒/Re]O+*T]pZN" "1E]կg󊔌3Ҋ"bU>@8(uchC8`9y'@9 zE4&90r1ϭ?|u֊*,zO#޵l+Y#F\(8<;EiVSI5bX%P͵*8 zTe;,;?Z(ficLmK(}7t4QSi HYA'(WtM=21nyD[-Whv!h[$w#E$Q=9qS%I|E&*zaYms}y)?times. For example, last year during a wrestling match, a frustrated opponent yelled to his coach,  How do I wrestle this freak? The remark generated penalty points, and the wrestler s coach immediately pulled him from the match.<br> That s the only kid that had that bad of an attitude, says Kacey.  Instead of shutting up and figuring out how to wrestle me, the kid just said something stupid. He just showed very poor sportsmanship.<br> I ve heard that a lot of kids are kind of scared of me at first. I understand---I m a little careful around the handicapped too, a little reluctant. It s a normal reaction to something different, until you get to understand it better. <br><br>Inspiring Others<br><br>Kacey has plenty of other activities besides sports. He sings in the school choir, is active in the Boy Scouts and is proving himself to be quite the actor as well. Last year he played the minor part of Montague in the school s production of Romeo and Juliet. This year, however, he plays the pivotal role of Puck in A Midsummer Night s Dream, another Shakespeare classic.<br>He also visits nearby elementary schools to talk abut his disability and his accomplishme
