Athleticism as youngster: She grew up in Troy Hill swimming and playing recreational softball and basketball.

Athleticism as an adult: The longtime swim instructor began winning medals in the Pennsylvania Senior Games in Shippensburg in the 1980s and doing likewise at the national Senior Olympics soon after that. She swims in butterfly, breaststroke and individual medley events at Trees Pool this week. She's a regular competitor for the Greensburg masters swimmer program.
