Sports Illustrated Kids is holding a competition for the cover of a special edition of their magazine. A little girl from my hometown, Tommi Olsen, has made the final six. She's behind in the voting, but I think she's amazing, so I'm going to post the link to the site after Tommi's profile.
Tommi O., 8
Wrestling
Don't let the name fool you. Tommi is an eight-year-old girl who competes against boys in wrestling. In 2007, she went 43-0 and all her wins were by pin or technical fall. Tommi was the 2007 Wyoming state champion in folk style and Greco-Roman style wrestling in her 45-pound weight class. She placed third at the Cliff Keen Tulsa National Kickoff Classic and second at the Cliff Keen Reno National Tournament. She won the folk style title at the AAU Grand Nationals and finished second in Greco-Roman and freestyle. Tommi's record in national competitions is 17-4. Tommi puts the same energy into her schoolwork as she does into wrestling, regularly finishing in the top grading category, and volunteering to help kids in her class with their school work.
