Youth Sports Hero of the Month: Rebecca Wong (Chelmsford, Mass.)

On March 3, 2010, senior Rebecca Wong finished tenth in the Massachusetts state high school alpine skiing championships, the final medal position. Or so she and everyone else on the slopes thought. When Wong watched a film of her slalom run afterwards, she realized that she had missed a gate near the bottom of the course and should have been disqualified. Race officials had not seen the miss, and neither had any spectator. What happened next made Rebecca January's youth sports hero.
