Davis County Clipper | 1990-03-14 | Page 26 | Congratulations Holly

Congratulations Holly It has been over 40 years since a skater has won a medal their first time at world competition, and our own Holly Cook broke that tradition. When she was told on Saturday that she had won the bronze medal, all Holly could say was "You're kidding. I'm third? I'm third?" And she was indeed third. Third best skater in the world. Those thousands of hours of practice, and hundreds of falls she took in trying to get a double, or a triple, "just right" all paid off on Saturday when she performed brilliantly for the judges. Congratulations to Holly and her family who supported her during the long, hard days of practice that brought her to this point. Perhaps she was predestined to love banana-shaped items, as Holly will certainly return as Davis County's "Top Banana."
