Like most students at Turlock High School, along with colder weather, Christmas time brings with it thoughts of Winter Formal for sophomore Sandra Tovar. She plans to go with a group of friends, and although the event isn’t until January, she already knows what color dress she wants to wear: royal blue. Still burning bright in her mind, however, alongside thoughts of fast-approaching high school excitement and dreams of a blue dress are the recent memories of another color – the bright red hue of the belt representing Tovar’s third national boxing title, which she earned last week in Salt Lake City, Utah at the 2017 USA Boxing Elite and Youth National Championships and Junior Open.
