Speedy Jada Talley emerging as Arizona’s top goalscorer

Legend has it that, as a toddler, Jada Talley ran before she crawled.

At just eight months old, she grabbed a coffee table, pulled herself up, and sprung her legs into motion.

The 19-year-old says it’s a true story, and while Arizona head coach Tony Amato is skeptical — “I have to do some fact-finding on that one,” he joked — he admits it wouldn’t be surprising.

Just watch her bolt up and down a soccer field. She’s a natural.

“Her speed is incredible,” said UA defender Sabrina Enciso.

And Talley knows how to use it.
