Jessica Long Wins 4 Golds At Paralympics

BEIJING (AP) ― Swimmer Jessica Long of Middle River has won four gold medals and set three world records at the Paralympics in Beijing.

The 16-year-old Long, whose legs are amputated below the knees, won the 400-meter freestyle to win her fourth gold. She also claimed a silver and a bronze.

The Baltimore area will honor Long during a parade on Oct. 4 with eight-time Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps.
