Leman Family Achievements

Daughter of shareholder Jamie Leman and husband Dan, Krista made 15 of 25 shots, which is also the same score that won her the state title last year. Krista has also been dancing for a year and a half and participated in the "Spotlight Dance Cup '99" in Anchorage with her group from the Dance Emporium of Soldotna. Her group, ranging in ages from 9 to 12, performed a jazz dance, which brought home several awards including the Diamond Award trophy for best of the junior division. Sister Whitney Leman, an 8th grader, along with two teammates competed in the junior high girls' three-on-three basketball tourney at Kenai Central High School and brought home first place trophies and big smiles!
