For Lexie Roth, it's one hurdle after another

By Doug Binder, DyeStat Editor

Maria Alvarez of Newsday in New York wrote a story about an incredibly brave high school senior named Lexie Roth, of Newfield-Centereach, who has a life-threatening briain disease called hyrdocephalus. 

"I just have to think positive because every day is a gift," said Roth, who competed last weekend at the Molloy Stanner Games. 

Roth has endured six brain surgeries, but uses her track and field training to stay healthy and focused on her goals.
