Olympic Gold Medalist and area resident Dominique Dawes was on the Hill Tuesday to push for a cause near and dear to her: equal athletic opportunities for high school girls.
Dawes appeared alongside Rep. Louise Slaughter, D-N.Y., who introduced the High School Athletics Accountability Act of 2009. That legislation would require high schools to report basic data, including the numbers of females and males participating in student athletic.
One topic that was off-limits, however: the status of her relationship with another local celeb, Andy Baldwin, the star of “The Bachelor: Officer and a Gentleman.” As you my remember, we spotted the two of them getting close to one another at Martin’s Tavern recently.
“I don’t comment on my personal life,” said Dawes, although she said it through a big smile.
