She may not be the crowd pleaser her two prime competitors are, but she has an attribute that always impresses athletes: she wins...
Every summer West Point runs its fresh-faced plebes through a grueling eight-week training program known as Beast Barracks. This year there were some beauties in the Beast: 119 women, the first in the academy's 174-year history, joined 1,480 male plebes in the Long Gray Line...
