tig1, what a fantastic accomplishment! Proud Grandpa!!!!
FWIW, while on temporary assignment in Colorado for two years, the neighbor who lived across the street from me was a 4-time Olympian ('84, '88, '92, '96 IIRC). Athlete's at that level are in different world in ways. But she was nice and we became friends. I used to go cycling with her.

Was she an Olympic/world class caliber cyclist herself, or did she just use cycling to cross train for some other sport/event?
IF a cyclist, road or track (or BOTH)??

Nice. This is quite of a accomplishment the majority of people don't understand the commitment and level of talent required for this accomplishment. Congratulations your Granddaughter did what 99.99 percent of the population can not do.

Thank you! She has worked harder than anyone I know for this type of accomplishment. Years and years and years of training has gone into this. She is also a standout academically as well with a 4.0 in here studies. She has a full ride scholar ship from the U of Tenn. Here is a news paper article on the Nationals.

She had offers to swim at many colleges around the country, but chose Tenn because of the potential there to rank high.
