Both of her coaches speak of her work ethic, which her mother received from her father. 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 thm. 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>to write poems of their own.<br> You can not separate the mind from the body, Young, a former English teacher said.

They all feel so much better about themselves, particularly the older girls, who have worked so hard for three-and-a-half years. It s sometimes just the little things that they now pay attention to, like the changes in their nutritional habits. A couple of cheerleaders stopped one day and said,  See Mrs. Young, we re drinking juice and not Dr. Pepper or Coke.  <br><br>Most of the girls list  getting in shape,  improving in their sport, and  losing weight as their primary reasons for taking BFS, but they also acknowledge the other benefits they ve received from Young s class.<br><br> We re learning about bones and muscles and stuff, said Amanda McCoy, who s been in BFS since the second semester of her freshman year. A senior who plays softball and basketball, McCoy said she believes that memorizing and writing poetry is paying off in other areas of her schoolwork and athletic career.  It helps me remember, she said,  and helps me concentrate. <br><br>Junior Amanda Waldroop, a cross country runner, sees another benefit to the poetry.<br><br> Sometimes, when I m not feeling good, I remember a sentence from a poem that makes me feel better. <br><br>Junior Penny Thompson, who plays softball, volleyball and basketball, admits she doesn t particularly like having to memorize poems, but s
