When Kandcye Bragg
received her college accep-
tance letter, it held two sur-
prises for her.
The first was that Bragg,
a senior at Shelton High
School, had received a par-
tial academic scholarship
to Viterbo University in La
Crosse, Wis:, for $28,000
to be split among her four
years with the university.
The second was an offer to
run track for the V-Hawks
on a $2,000 per year athletic
scholarship.
Includ-
ing this
season,
Bragg has
been run-
ning track
for nine
years and
competes
in the 400
meters,
Kandyce 4 0 0 - m e -
Bragg ter relay,
800-meter
relay and
1600-meter relay.
"I like that track is an
individual and team sport,"
Bragg said. "We all have the
same amount of dedication
to it."
Bragg first participated
in track when she was a
third-grade student at Hood
Canal School and her physi-
cal education teacher took
her class out to the track.
"That's when I discov-
ered I'm fast," Bragg said.
"I'm really competitive and
figured l could use it to go
somewhere."
Bragg said she knows
now that she figured right,
since she'll be compet-
ing on Viterbo's track and
field team next year. Next
spring, when Bragg said she
hopes she will begin run-
ning for the V-Hawks, will
be the second year the uni-
versity has had a track and
field team.
"I'm hoping to set some
records for them," she said.
While at Viterbo. Bragg
plans to work toward a
bachelor's degree in psy-
chology.
"I was thinking about
going into the army to be
a psychologist," she said.
"I have family in the army
and I've seen how Post-
Traumatic Stress Disorder
can affect families. I want to
give back to them."
