Purple, swollen and bruised was the state of Lauren Sandberg’s, sophomore, leg. Due to a fall in dance class, Sandburg sprained her ankle.
“I couldn’t fit into tennis shoes because it was swollen,” Sandberg said. Because of its bruise-like appearance, Sandberg kept dancing and waited 2 months before realizing she needed medical attention.
“The doctor thought it was a stress fracture because I kept dancing,” Sandberg said.
But because of this sprain, Sandberg discovered her desire to study sports medicine at Stanford university.
“I heard my parents talking about it and how good of a university it was,” Sandberg said.
Sandberg is working on starting up an organization to bring more dance opportunities to dancers in Canby.

Despite having the bases loaded, the team was unable to score any runs. “It’s just the beginning of the season. We’re just going to be playing out best by June, [and] that’s where champions are,” Rowe said.](https://wlhsnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/IMG_3077-1200x900.jpg)

Meikle, who was an Editor-in-Chief for the yearbook last year as well, holds both and stands at the center of the group. “That was an amazing feeling, going and grabbing the third place award,” Meikle said. “All of it paid off. I cried so much over that book, being able to receive [the award] was one of the highlights of my high school career, it was like the coolest thing ever.”](https://wlhsnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/8bookpose_philly-1200x800.jpg)
