It was a slam dunk for Jasmine Warfield, 16, a high school basketball player from Denver, Colorado. Her essay won the national prize in the In My Shoes contest, sponsored by The Athlete's Foot. In the competition, students were asked to write about their performance goals for the school year. Jasmine wrote that she would like to "walk into the gym with confidence and walk out with humility."
