CEDAR FALLS - Abbie Ranschau does not like to waste time.
That's a great attribute to have for a track star, where tenths of a second can spell the difference between victory and defeat, but Ranschau's attitude carries beyond sports.
"I've always enjoyed being active and staying in shape," the Cedar Rapids Jefferson junior said Tuesday. "I don't like staying at home and doing nothing. It's kind of boring.
"I like to get stuff done," she said, "so I don't feel like I've wasted a day."
