While earning accolades in volleyball and basketball - including, for both sports, selection for county All-Star teams, three varsity letters, and placement on the Salem News All-Area First Teams, Julie’s real forte was track.

Julie was a four-year varsity letter winner and still holds the High School records in both the shot put (40-2 ½) and discus (139-11). She placed in the State meet twice - fourth and second in her junior and senior years, respectively. In addition to setting records in both the East Palestine League and Columbiana County track meets, Julie was not only named female track athlete of the year in 1988 by the Youngstown Area Coaches Association, but also the VFW outstanding High School senior athlete of the year.

Still involved in athletics, Julie is assistant track coach at Salem High School and assistant volleyball coach at Beaver Local.
