Stevens High School Senior Elicia Meairs has big goals, as she is trying to make it to the Paralympic Olympics next year in Paris for track and field.

She was born with cerebral palsy, but she has not let that slow her down.

It’s easy to see her hard work is paying off. She won second place in shot put at the UIL state competition, and took home a gold, silver and two bronze medals at the U.S. Paralympic track and field championships earlier this month. Next year, she will be competing as a division one athlete for the University of Arizona in track and field.
