Elysia Kunkler, who will enter Iola High School as a freshman in the fall, is “high stepping” her way to the medal stand this summer.
Kunkler, 14, will compete at a regional track meet in Lawrence Saturday and Sunday as a member of the Norman (Okla.) High Steppers, an AAU-certified track and field club.
Kunkler qualified for the regional meet by taking second at a state-level competition in Tulsa on June 11.
