Medal record | |
Armbruster began losing her vision at 14, but continued to play in her school's basketball team, but her vision loss progressed to the point of being legally blind. She later lost her vision completely and therefore did not join the military like her father. Instead she found success in goalball and played at the 1992 Summer Paralympics and several Paralympic Games since. She has won a gold medal.[4]
