Happy 13Th Birthday Tanner James Elliott! Tanner has had a very busy year. Last summer was spent boating, spending a week at the lake with the whole Elliott family, Vikings training camp and summer baseball. Tanner is a 3 sport athlete in school, playing football on the 8Th grade team, as well as, the 7Th grade team, wrestling JV and Varsity(which he earned a varsity letter) and baseball this spring. He was elected Snow Week prince and got to go to his 1st school dance. As tough as it was for Tanner to leave his old friends in Campbell, he has made new friends and gained new experiences. His new friends and football team gave him a nickname last fall and it seems to have stuck with him. "Sooner" Sooner was the name of a football drill which involved hard hitting and everyone enjoyed the "big" man wanting to get physical. In wrestling it was a major challenge for the 83 pounder to put on 7 lbs for weigh in, because for varsity the minimum weight is 90 lbs. After a very "educational" winter, Tanner got his first victory in his last match of the year. School is not all about sports though, Tanner was also a member of the JH Knowledge bowl team, which comprised 7th, 8th and 9th graders. The team qualified for regionals, but missed advancing to state. Tanner was also on the B-Honor Roll. On the family hunting front, Tanner shot his 1st Canadian goose last fall and it was also his 1st year deer hunting, where he bagged a nice doe. Tanner had a wonderful 12th year and things are stacking up to make year 13 even more exciting. Happy B-Day Sooner!!!
