Natalie says she woke up today at 5:25 am like normal. Except this morning, she wore her bronze medal to breakfast. And why not?
Gazette newswriter Cara Beemiller caught up with one of Natalie's high school coaches at Everett, as well as two residents of her hometown in Clearville for reaction to her historic performance at the 2012 London Olympics. Cara's piece will be in Friday's edition of the paper.
Dell became the first Olympic medalist ever from Bedford County with a bronze in the Women's Quadruple Sculls rowing competition on Wednesday.
