2024 Olympic Gold Medalist Saya wows her Holy Cross audience!

The students at Holy Cross were thrilled to welcome Saya Sakakibara to our school last Wednesday!

Saya shared her insights around perseverance, chasing one’s dreams, and being the best you can be in all that you do. She answered a range of questions each class identified, and gave us a glimpse into her incredible Olympic journey, which led to her winning a GOLD Medal! 

We loved learning more about her, the dedication it takes to achieve one’s goals, the challenges and triumphs of being an athlete, and how important it is to always work hard to turn your dreams into reality.
