    Shocking. 16 years old and 6'2 already. :-)

    "[size=8]It's years and years of work and sacrifice and dedication. Along with a lot of these girls, we've sweat and we've bled and we've cried together in past Olympics. It just brought tears to my eyes, & I'm more than thrilled. This will be forever." -LOGAN MAILE LEI TOM (Silver Medallist - 2008 Beijing & 2012 London Olympic Games, 2011 World Cup runner up, 2003 & 2007 World Cup 3rd place, 2002 World Champs runner up, 4-time World GrandPrix Champs)

  • i like her :lol: she has a great taste :whistling:


    She has good taste for books as well hahaha


    Anyway, 6`2`` with 16 years old?? jesus christ! :what:



    She has a growth disorder :lol:

  • It seems she is gonna play for US national team in the near future. It would be big pressure for her to be against China national team. :(


    BTW .Can someone tell me what position she plays? And she looks a bit old considering she is only 16. ^^

  • She is still growing: now she is 6' 3".


    She is, no surprise here, an outside hitter.
    The Beckman High School is walking distance from my place. So last year I watched her play couple times. Not bad, not bad at all.
