What were you doing at 13? Was it qualifying for the Olympic Games?!

For Tracee Talavera, school, friends, outfits & other things most kids stress about seemed like nothing to her. After all, she was the first Latina to compete for #TeamUSA in Gymnastics in the '84 Games (earning Silver all-around). But she actually qualified for the prior '80 Games at only thirteen years old.

Double-tap to honor Tracee & some love as we continue to celebrate #HispanicHeritageMonth and the Olympians/Paralympians who made significant contributions to the Games and Community.
