Second Lumberjack to the Olympic games

[king]

David McNeil will represent Australia at the Olympic games in London this summer in the 5,000 meters. That makes 2 official Olympians out of NAU at the London games. Diego Estrada was chosen by the Mexican Federation for Mexico's Olympic team earlier this year. Diego will run the 10,000 meters. If Lopez Lamong makes the Olympic team later this month, that would be 3 runners from NAU in the London Olympic games. That says a lot about the quality of NAU's Track and Field and Cross Country program. :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

Fantastic! Track and field as well as cross country teams can compete with anyone in the USA. I will be following this during the London Olympics. NAU's athletics website made a note about a former Lumberjacks athlete/coach throwing shotput for Iran as well. That makes four.
