"I am a lifelong athlete," states Pollom. "In high school, I was on the basketball, volleyball, track and softball teams. In college, I was on the basketball and soccer teams and raced for the club bicycling team at DePauw University in Indiana. In recent history, I have taken to running and have run two marathons and multiple half-marathons but plan on moving to another adventure as I have to heal from a foot injury. If she chooses, I look forward to watching my seven year-old daughter play sports as she gets older."
