Ann was also a talented athlete. She received All-American honors in 2005 by placing 5th in the pole vault at the NAIA Indoor Track and Field Championships. She knows firsthand what it takes to be committed, and persistent and to work hard to accomplish goals. Ann continues to enjoy sports by volunteering with the Erie High School Track and Field team and by staying active with her husband and their 3 young children.
