My Take
When I think of Kerri Strug, I immediately picture that single vault at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, landed on an injured ankle to clinch team gold. To me that moment captures everything I respect about competitive courage: the refusal to flinch when it matters most. As a member of the Magnificent Seven from Tucson, she put her body on the line for her teammates, and the image still resonates decades later. Her path to Stanford speaks to a sharp mind alongside the grit. I will gladly celebrate that performance again and again as a defining act of athletic resolve.
