Samohi’s Harding Ponders College Choices:

by mirrormmg

Santa Monica High’s Jennie Harding is as spectacular in the classroom as she is on the basketball court.

As a result the senior forward will have her choice of a college to attend and will make her decision after the Vikings complete their season in the playoffs.

Harding is the Vikings’ top defensive player and recently made seven three-point shots in a game against Culver City as she totaled 26 points.

Harding has a grade point average above 4.0 (all A’s) and is strongly considering two Eastern colleges who are strong in academics, Williams and Amherst.
