My Take
Tara Cross-Battle commands my admiration through sheer endurance. Four consecutive Olympic Games, a bronze medal in Barcelona in 1992, and a final appearance in Athens in 2004 describe a career measured in decades, not seasons. To hold a place among the world's best for that long, anchoring the US national team again and again, demands a discipline most athletes never approach. Topped off by a Honda Sports Award in college, hers is the profile of a true pillar rather than a flash in the pan. I respect sustained, unbroken excellence above almost anything else in sport, and she embodies it.
