Top Moments in Sacramento Women’s History: Alyssa Anderson | Sacramento Kings
Sacramento added another athlete to its list of Olympic medalists when Granite Bay’s own Alyssa Anderson took home Gold during the 2012 Summer Olympics. Anderson was born in Santa Clara, CA but grew up in Sacramento and began her swimming career as a member of the Sierra Marlins Swim Team in Folsom. She attended Granite Bay High School, where as a senior in 2008, she became an Olympic hopeful after reeling in four straight National Championships and helping the United States take home the silver medal in the 2009 World Aquatics Championships in Rome.
