Gracyn LaSueur (right) poses with her strength and conditioning coach, Derrick Bumpers (left) after being present with the Semper Fidelis All-American Award at Northview High School, May 18, 2017. LaSueur is exactly what the Marine Corps is looking for when it comes to a Semper Fidelis All-American. She has turned her obstacles into victories by overcoming odds set against her at a very early age. She dedicates her success to Coach Bumpers who aided her in her recovery after not only tearing her meniscus, but straining her medial collateral ligament (MCL) as well.
