Celebrating Chinese-Americans in Sports
May 3, 2009 was a special night, these Chinese-American sports champions were being honored as the very best for their commitment and abilities.
All of us have participated in sports in way or another and we stand in highest admiration of these individuals who have reached the pinnacle of their dream.
We attended this evening to honor all the champions and to especially support our niece, Carol Jue, who was being recognized for her many sports accomplishments including Coach of the Year, NCAA, All Independents for 2005 and 2009. She is currently the Head Coach of Women's Basketball for Chapman University. She has taken the team to six play-off berths in six years with a overall winning record of 142-49.

Allen: How proud you must be of all these wonderful people. Congrats to them and to you for knowing them. I will try to tell you what the Chinese Team did at Worlds where my granddaughter got the panda hat from them cause they couldn't exchange their shirts cause they had a chinege flag on it.
