Barbra Fontana
Barbra (with her partner Linda Hanley)
qualified for the 1996 Olympic
Beach Volleyball competition by winning the U.S. Qualifying
meet. They were the top-seeded team in the qualifier,
by virtue of their performance in international events sponsored
by the FIVB. (The team of McPeak & Reno did not compete in the
qualifier - they were reached the Olympics solely on the basis of
FIVB play.) Fontana teamed with Lori Forsythe to win a bronze
medal at the Goodwill Games in St. Petersburg (1994).
Barbra has served as the
WPVA's president.
She played collegiately at Stanford. Born in
Manhattan Beach, CA, she stands 5" 6".
