Video: Danville's Olympic Star Maggie Steffens Talks Water Polo, Family

Four years ago Maggie Steffens watched her sister in the Olympics. This year, she will join her.

graduate Maggie Steffens might be the youngest member of the U.S. Olympic Womens Water Polo team, but if the United States wins gold in London it will likely be because the 19-year-old Danville-resident played a pivotal role.

She led the team with 11 goals at the FINA World League Super Final earlier this year and helped the U.S. with six goals en route to winning the 2011 Pan Am Games to qualify for the Olympics.

Maggie will join her sister Jessica, 25, on this year's team and their first match is Monday against Hungary.

Thank you for this post. As a parent of two at SRVHS and one at Stone Valley Middle School thisRead More whole thing concerns me greatly. I just have not had the time to look into it. My Junior at SRVHS is in the guinea pig class for the new curriculum. The new curriculum started with AP Biology this year and it has been a disappointment. Parents, including myself, really need to educate ourselves on this. I thought this was a State program not a Fed program. Great...
