Jennifer Wang is this month's Tri-City Voice Female Athlete of the Month. Wang is tearing it up for the Newark Bluefins of the East Bay Swim League. Wang -- who is continually setting the pace for her age group -- ended the month of June in style, setting a Bluefins record in the 9- and 10-year-old girls 25 butterfly.

Surely, the sky is the limit for this young, talented local athlete. And Tri-City Voice was fortunate to get a holf of Wang and ask her these questions after passing word to her of this honor.
