FEBRUARY ATHLETE OF THE MONTH

Meet Layla

This February, we are so proud to celebrate Layla, a talented 12-year-old athletics athlete who continues to show what dedication, resilience, and love for her sport truly look like. Layla has had an incredible season on the track, representing at district, regional, state, and national competitions, an amazing achievement that reflects the hard work she puts into her training every single week.

Layla recently competed at the State Championships, where she delivered outstanding performances with a 56.68 in the 400m and a brilliant 1:49.99 in the 800m. These times highlight not only her natural speed, but also her endurance, focus, and determination to keep pushing herself to new levels. Stepping onto the track at this level takes courage, discipline, and confidence, and Layla continues to rise to the challenge with an inspiring attitude.

What we love most about Layla is the passion she brings to athletics. Behind every race is early mornings, tough training sessions, and the mindset to keep going even when it gets hard. And Layla shows that true athletes aren’t just defined by results, but by their commitment to improving, supporting others, and enjoying the journey along the way.

At Chasing Oso, we believe movement builds confidence, character, and lifelong strength, and Layla is a perfect example of this in action. She represents everything we value; dedication to her sport, belief in herself, and the bravery to chase big goals at such a young age. We are incredibly proud to have Layla as part of the Oso community and cannot wait to see what she achieves next.

Congratulations Layla! Your Oso family is cheering you on every step of the way. Keep chasing those dreams and enjoying every moment.
