Crystal Lake Teen Hopes To Qualify For Spot On US Speed Skating Team

Hailey Leech, a Crystal Lake teen, is fundraising for an upcoming tryout in August at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs.

She will compete at the United States Outdoor National Championship Trials as she attempts to qualify for one of six available spots on the Junior Women's United States Inline Speed Skating World Team.

If she makes the team, she will travel to Italy in September for the World Championships. Hailey has been a member of the US Junior Women’s team the past 3 years (China 2009), Colombia (2010), Korea (2011).

Hailey has joined forces with another skater from Illinois, Megan Gillis, of Springfield in her fundraising efforts. She is looking for local support of her fundraising efforts for 2012 with the purchase of a ticket for a Lottery Calendar Fundraiser.
