Cullman Clinic Encore Athlete of the Month, Elena Guavara.

 

Congratulations to the Cullman Clinic Encore Athlete of the Month, Elena Guavara! Elena is a rising senior and only member of the Good Hope High School Wheelchair Track Team. She is one athlete Encore highly respects for chasing her dreams. Her junior year accomplishments consist of winning 4 AHSAA State Championship titles in the wheelchair shot put, 400 meter, 200 meter, and 100 meter dash. (I’m not sure about anyone else, but our arms hurt just thinking about that!) Good luck this next upcoming season, Elena!
