My Take

Jennifer Tamas, formerly Joines, is the kind of athlete I gravitate toward. Standing 193 cm and helping Team USA to silver at the 2008 Beijing Games, she reached the rarefied air just below the absolute summit of her sport, and that takes a steadiness most of us never test. I find it telling that her name changed but her presence on the record did not. The Santa Clara roots, the high-school grounding, the sheer physical commitment of indoor volleyball at that level all add up to a competitor I deeply respect. She earned her place in this database the hard way.
