ST. LOUIS — DeAnna Price is headed for Paris to compete for Team USA in hammer throw.
Price is hoping her family can travel with her to watch her sport. Price launched a fundraiser on the website GoFundMe to finance the trip.
The fundraiser reads, "I couldn't have done what I have done without them by my side."
She wants her parents, Ann and Dan Price, and her in-laws, Cheryl and Steve Lambert, to join her in Paris. She is married to J.C. Lambert, a fellow thrower who now coaches track.
Her personal best hammer throw, 80.31 meters (263 feet, five inches) is the American record throw. Price competed in the Rio Games and in Tokyo.
