One of my favorite athletes of the 1996 Olympics is Rebecca Lobo. She is one of the many talented ladies on the Womens all-star olympic team. Rebecca is studying political science and is attending the University of Connecticut, Rebecca has also made the dean's list every semester. Rebecca likes to wear her hair in a french braid when she plays because she doesn't want her hair in her eyes and too prove that femininity and sports can go together. A lot of people might not recognize Rebecca, but I think she is an outstanding athlete and person.
