Hi, my name is Danica Bates I'm a sophmore at Lane Community College running track as a Heptathlete. I also compete in both relays and the 400 hurdles. My favorite event I would have to say is the Long Jump and the 400 Hurdles. I took my senior  year of HS and first year of college off from sports to recover from an ACL tear in basketball. I was a four sport athlete in Pleasant Hill High School, graduated in 2005. Next year I will be attending the University of Montana, where I will hopefully walk onto the track team there. My hobbies include: riding/training my horses, Team Penning, barrel racing, trail riding, camping, hiking, tubin at the lake, snowboarding, hunting, fishing, toll painting, woodworking, woodburning (type of art), scrapbooking, bowling, watching movies (when I have time) and just hangin out with friends and family.
