Sharon completed a 14 year stretch of competitive swimming on an athletic scholarship at UC Berkeley. In her senior year, she was an All American and team captain. She graduated with a degree in Communications.
Following graduation, Sharon shifted her athletic focus to running and has since completed 14 marathons including four finishes at the Boston Marathon. Thriving on new challenges, Sharon then stepped up to the rarified world of triathletes. She has twice competed in Ironman Canada with an impressive 1st place finish in her age group in 2004 and a 2nd place in her age group in 2005. For the last two years, she has participated in the world famous Hawaii Ironman World Championships. Her 3rd place finish in her age group at Ironman Arizona in April of this year has earned her another slot at this year's championships.
Even more impressive than her achievement in the athletic arena have been her achievements in the recruiting arena. Sharon has been recruiting since 1995.
