Coach Brink's comments: Tatiana has had some challenges with injuries which has made it difficult for her to reach her full potential. However, she has never let that deter her from her joy of running and being part of the team. She almost always has a smile and a positive attitude, which I think her teammates respect and look up to her for having.
