In April, Sage Palmedo won the silver medal in women’s saber at the 2014 Junior World Championships (20 and under) in Plodiv, Bulgaria.
It has been quite an eventful calendar year, as Sage followed up her gold win at the 2013 Sosnowiec Saber Junior World Cup with an even more thrilling victory at the 2014 Udine Junior World Cup in Italy. And striking a balance between academic pursuits and world-class athletic achievements is no small feat. As Sage reflects: “If it weren’t for the Online High School, I would not be able to achieve my goals at the high level. I and the other students here are so lucky to have this incredible educational experience with such flexibility for our busy lives.”
The future looks to have even more thrilling experiences for Sage, as she mulls over choices between the Olympics and college. Sage ends her Junior Season ranked an impressive third in the world and will start her 2014-2015 season ranked first.
