Sunny Hostin is sharing a major achievement in her daughter's athletic career!

On Tuesday's episode of The View, the co-host, 53, announved that her daughter Paloma, 16, recently competed in the Junior Olympics in Greensboro, North Carolina. Hostin said that her daughter did "so well" in the 800-meter run in track and field.

"Everyone was asking where I was yesterday, I was actually watching my daughter run the 800 meters in track and field in the Junior Olympics yesterday," said Hostin. "I didn't want to mention it because most people know Paloma does not like being the center of attention, which is why I don't talk much about her on the show."

"But she did so well. She broke her own record, she made a personal record," she revealed.
