This one is a little different. ❤️🇨🇦Rayelle Rose caught up with Keller Tye, who unfortunately had to medically withdraw from the Junior High National Finals after an accident at home before the trip to Oklahoma.Keller didn’t have much to say beyond the fact that he’s injured, and Rayelle kept things light as they talked.We’ve all been wondering how Keller has been doing, so we’re especially thankful that Rayelle took a few minutes to check in with him.Missing your National Finals is never easy, but if there’s one thing Team Alberta does well, it’s sticking together through the tough moments.Keller, we’re wishing you a speedy recovery. We know this wasn’t the week you had planned, but Team Alberta is behind you every step of the way.Hear it straight from Keller.❤️🤍❤️ #TeamAlberta #JHNFR #AHSRA
