HENDERSON (KTNV) — No matter who you ask, one word that describes Coronado High School swimmer Gabrielle Grace is "leader."
Grace already excelled in the water for Coronado, but she was looking for an extra challenge.
"And so I joined cross country," Grace said. "I thought it would be an exciting little adventure, something new to try."
The senior ended up finishing seventh in the 5A Southern Regional meet and was eighth in the 5A State meet — an impressive showing for a rookie.

The two-sport athlete has been accepted to Florida State University and plans to study her first year abroad in Italy.
