Northwest Herald - Local News and Video for McHenry County, Illinois - Around Town: CL teen skates onto national stage


For Hailey Leech, winning a race during an open skate at X-treme Wheels in Crystal Lake when she was 8 provided a springboard into the world of competitive inline speedskating.

Leech received a speedskating lesson as a prize for the win. Now 13 and an eighth grader at Lundahl Middle School in Crystal Lake, she will train for a week this month at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs as a member of the U.S. National Team.
