Before Rebekah Smith became one of the ACC’s best sprinters, she was focusing her talents elsewhere … she focused on becoming a dancer.
“I started ballet when I was five years old. I kept dancing until my freshman year in high school, but then I started running track,” she said. “Now I have a new path that I’m taking.”
Dancer turned track star is not often heard of, but Smith makes it look like an ideal path to success. Her idea of success is simple … she wants to make it nationals.
“A goal for me is to get top sixteen so I can go to nationals,” she said.
