Lexi, mix, CRN 930883
Lexi (aka Alexis Ann Von Borup) was adopted as a puppy from Ypsilanti, MI. She was supposed to be a
GSD/Malamute mix. That was wrong – she weighed 20 lbs., measured 15 inches (11” height dog) and looked like
a Manchester Terrier. Lexi started flyball classes outside of Lansing, MI in October of 1986 and raced her first
tournament in Canada, December 1986 (placing 3rd with Lexi racing every race!). Lexi raced with ABC Dog
School, Hit Squad, Mad Crew, SmackDabs and Flashback. At one time she was the #2 mix breed in point
standings. She earned her Onyx in 1996, then was semi-retired but continued to race until 6 months before she
died. Her racing career spanned from 1986 to 2000. Lexi started on the flyball box with the hairspray can holding
the ball & graduated to the 3-hole box. Best time was just under 5 seconds. She was a tireless height dog who truly
loved the game. In her career, she raced with over 100 dogs. Many teams in Region 4 can trace their roots back to
a team with Lexi. Lexi is a true MVP for Region 4 – longevity, team spirit, and impact. Don’t forget this classic
dog!
