Allen and Fulp-Allen are accomplishing their goals not only as a coach and athlete but as father and daughter as well.
“Our family is was really proud and excited for us when we won our awards because we did it together,” she said. “We are still accomplishing our own goals together. Even though my dad is not an athlete anymore, he is still accomplishing great things.”
