Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes:
Freshman LaRisa Jones has some of the most unique footwear of any Bear on campus. In her spare time, Jones enjoys painting designs on shoes.

Golden-Bear Influence:
One of the leading influences is LaRisa Jones' decision to come to Cal was the presence of former Cal softball players. Hailing from nearby Concord, Calif., Jones grew up around former players and watched many a game at Levine-Fricke Field.

Why I Have My Number:
"My favorite number is 12, but my number is 24, which is 12 doubled. Everything is better doubled."

My Walk-Up Song Is:
""You're Not Berkeley Enough" by DJ Fog and Smog, because it reps three things that mean a lot to me - the Bay Area, granola, and obviously organic food. The other is "Toxic" by Britney Spears because who doesn't love Britney?"
