Sydney Little Light - One Voice

Senior Sydney Little Light - the EKU record-holder in the mile - recounts her journey from the Crow Indian Reservation in Montana to Eastern Kentucky University.
"This entire journey to Richmond has been about being a good role model for little Crow runners."

I just watched your video. You are incredibly brave. I was an EKU nursing student when I spent the summer of 1985 at Crow Agency working with the Visiting Nurses of the Indian Health Service/ Public Health Service. I thoroughly enjoyed my experiences there. I truly learned a lot. The biggest honor was when my family drove out to drive me home to Louisville, Ky and we were invited to Crow Fair. I also played on the softball team! I always remember one of the coaches saying, “Hit it hard and run fast!” Keep running fast, Sydney Little Light!❤

Congratulations Sydney on your college running career. It took courage to move to EKU. You have made your family and all who know you proud. It took moving out of your comfort zone to find that inner strength that you may not have known you had. That is growth as a person. You discovered your true identity. You will do well in anything field of your choice. Good luck.
