We write a lot about local politicians, Tysons Corner traffic tangles and other grown-up goings on about town, but we thought we'd pause a moment to highlight some of our younger neighbors.

These McLean kids - and young adults - caught our attention for their recent accomplishments. A round of applause for the group, please!

• Christopher Frey, son of Gerald Frey and Alison Frey, has been named to the Dean's List of Emory College in Atlanta. 
• Heesu Kim, daughter of Yeon Hee Gu, has been named to the Dean's List of Emory College in Atlanta. 
• Sarah J. Braselton, daughter of James and Lelia Braselton, has been named to the Dean's List of Colby College in Waterville, Maine. 

Do you know a child that deserves to be included in our next installment of McLean Patch's Whiz Kids? Email bobbi.bowman@patch.com or lauren.sausser@patch.com and let us know.
