Proud of Valley Royal Halle May!

Valley Royals Distance Athlete Halle May signed her letter of intent this week with University of New Brunswick and will be attending the school with a scholarship in Track and Field and Cross Country. Halle has been a core member of our club for the past four years and has been an example to those athletes who train with her. Halle has shown constant dedication and her positive attitude and work ethic set a tone in the distance group that is contagious.  She has been a pleasure to coach and deserves every bit of the success that she has experienced. All the best on your upcoming season Halle and congratulations on your acceptance to University of New Brunswick.
