Congrats to the Phenom!

Nicole Ohlde; a.k.a. the Phenom; has just been named to the Kansas State High School Activities Association Hall of Fame Class of 2009! Along with four coaches named to this year's list; Edward Kriwiel of Wichita; Tamra Strano a longtime coach at Leavenworth; Leslie Davis of Sedan and Layton Kaiser of Hays she will be inducted into the Hall of Fame at a sporting event sometime in the second semester. Nicole who started her career as a freshman at Clay Center was truly Phenomenal on the basketball court; the volleyball court and in track and field. Her 'smile' while playing may be as legendary as her playing abilities. Of course the success for the Lady Tigers was then continued at Kansas State as a Big 12 Player of the year and still today in the WNBA for the Minnesota Lynx. I was very honored and priviledged to have been asked by her family to be one to write a letter of recognition for this selection; which I believe is well deserved. Congrats Nicole...The Phenom!
