Proud GaGa Kathleen wrote to say that her 14-year old granddaughter, Julia won a bronze medal at the Junior Olympics in Omaha, Nebraska this month. In a four-way tie she cleared 5’ 3” in the high jump and finished 7th in the country in her age group for the 2008 season.
Julia began competing only two years ago because she’s been too busy playing soccer, basketball and baseball. Kathleen reported that on Julia’s first day as a freshman at Gunn High School, she was chosen for the varsity volleyball team.
Kathleen sent this photo of her “tall, lean, happy shining beauty” wearing her bronze medal.
