Congrats Tracy! You certainly deserve it.
Tracy takes care of all the registrations for athletes, nonathletes, gyms and shows. It is a lot of work and sometimes a thankless job. She always tries to accomidate boxer and promoters of amateure shows even when she has to run all over the place at the last minute. Congratulations Tracy, you are very derserving of the award.
