Small size, big talent

Towaco's Leah Wis an accomplished athlete at tender age of nine - Up a steep, stone-lined driveway. Past a maroon front door. Inside a half-red brick, half-off white aluminum sided house. A monster lives here. 

She doesn't look like a monster. Her flowing blonde hair is pulled back in a sour-green scrunchie and her bright pink nails look like they've been given a girly touch.

She smiles as she opens the door, welcoming her visitor with a subdued, ladylike, "hello."  The smile checks out fine -- no fangs. Maybe the monster is costumed as a unique little girl, a Junior Olympian named Leah Wis.  See Daily Record.  photo by bob karp / daily record
