Although she’s a straight-A student, Callie’s favorite subject is P.E. She’s a soccer superstar (her coach calls her “Beckham”), and two years ago she was accepted on the Olympic state soccer team, even though she was a year too young. Callie also plays tennis, lacrosse and baseball. Playing mud football with the boys on her street has helped her get along well with the opposite sex, but she thinks that getting along well with everyone will give her the advantage she needs to be Endurance champion. When not playing sports, Callie is the drummer for a hard-rock band. | |
