The New Face of Sportanica
Since the beginning of time, people have always had trouble remembering names and faces. “Oh ya, you’re referring to what’s his face”, “You know, the guy from the gym...oh what’s his name”. However, when you can put a name and a face together something clicks inside our brain. It’s as though the final puzzle piece fit in the magical puzzle in our heads, and everything comes together. Sportanica won’t be known as “that store with the fun designed sports bras”, because now there is a face with a name. We proudly introduce Lolo Jones as the new face of Sportanica women’s apparel. Lolo Jones excellently exemplifies the message of perseverance and hard work that Sportanica wants to instill in not only our customers, but also to the victims of childhood obesity.Lori ‘Lolo’ Jones grew up in Des Moines, Iowa living and breathing track. Since the first time she could run she knew it was her dream. By time she hit high school her passion was so intense, that when her family had to move she wouldn’t go to Forest City, Iowa a place that had no track. She split from her family and resided with families in town that all wanted to see her succeed. Through such a rough start in life, Lolo has persevered through it all and earned her way to the top. However, she never forgets where she came from and how so many people helped her to get there. When the Iowa flood of 2008 hit, Jones went back home and donated thousands of dollars to her high school and also to the people who were most affected. Lolo Jones remains an outstanding female athlete and a kind hearted, down to earth person. Sportanica is beyond proud to have her on our team as our new female sponsor.
