About Mary Beth:
What you may not realize about Mary Beth is that she is young. She just turned 18 and has already competed in three world championships, two world cups and one Olympics. In fact, at the 2008 Olympic Games she was the youngest U.S. athlete period! At this young age she has had success with a Pan American Games bronze, both a World Championship and Junior World Championship silver, and three national titles. And lucky for Adam Soldati, she will take those accolades to Purdue University in the fall of 2011!
