League Of Her Own

She’s not afraid to get dirt on her skirt

By Neil Landwehr
Gabby Wallach loves to compete with boys. Whether as goalie, point guard or third base in the Peter Stuyvesant Little League, Gabby receives praise from her coaches and fellow teammates. New York Family Sports was lucky to catch up with this multi-sport “wonder girl” in a window of her week not consumed with practices or games. Might we happen to mention—this girl manages to keep winning grades, too!

Get A Grip

Ain’t No Mountain High Enough for Alex Mañon

By Daniel Wright
I don't think it's just me—I hope it's not anyway—but for some odd reason, being suspended in mid air, looking for that next inch-thick crevasse to place my feet on is something that, to be perfectly honest, scares me. I prefer the security of knowing that my next footstep will see me landing on a decidedly stable surface—the ground. I am also scared of heights which will probably mean that I never enjoy the thrill and adrenaline of rock climbing.

Between weight training, cardiovascular drills, practice, street hockey (and school), Dylan just does not have the time to fool around. Well, he does play videogames every chance he gets.
