We've recognized the named "Kelly Lunghamer" for a while now, which makes sense. The Bloomfield Hills Marian senior just finished her high school career with 12 varsity letters -- and 12 appearances in MHSAA Finals.

The Observer and Eccentric's Marty Budner explains how she's been able to accomplish so much during a full high school career.
