Nelson’s Maddy Bonikowsky loves to run.
She loves the rawness and simplicity of running.
And she has loved running from a young age, racing recreationally against peers in elementary school.
“No equipment, no technical components; in running you must grind it out by yourself, for yourself,” the Grade 12 student at L.V. Rogers High School recently said to
The Nelson Daily.
That determination and perseverance earned the Bomber Senior a scholarship to the University of Utah to compete on the women’s cross country and track and field teams.
