Anybody from your school been an Olympic Champion?

How 'bout just trying for a spot on the Olympic Team?

Here's one ex-Aggie sprinter trying to chase some ice dreams...

ASU's Melissa Morrison won the Bronze in the 110 M Hurdles in both the '00 and '04 Olympics. Couldn't ever get past Gail Devers, though.

James B. Connolly, class of 1899, won the first gold medal in modern Olympic history in the triple jump. Among other Harvard Olympians are:

Tenley Albright '57, winner of gold medal in figure skating at the '56 Olympics

Bill Cleary '56, the future Harvard men's ice hockey coach and athletic director, anchored the men's gold medal ice hockey team in 1960.

Paul Smart '14 and Hilary Smart '45, a father-son team, won Olympic gold in sailing in 1948.

Robert W. Hackett '81 took a silver in swimming at the '76 games, and David Berkoff '89 copped a silver in swimming in '88.

Harvard contributed two players and the head coach of the gold-medal women's hockey team in '98.

Charles Austin won the high jump in Atlanta. That is the only one I know of.

Bobby Weaver--Gold Medal, 1984 Olympics, Wrestling 103.5 lbs. Bobby had to wrestle the, then, lowest weight class in the NCAA from 1980-1984 at 118 lbs., giving away 10 lbs and going up against guys who had dropped down from 135 lbs, with much bigger frames. Yet, he still won a bronze medal at the NCAA's in 1982 at 118.

Mark Lieberman--would have wrestled for the U.S. had we not boycotted the Olympics in 1980. He did get to win a gold medal at the Pan Am Games.

I believe we had a couple wrestlers compete in the Olympics in decades past (1930's), but can't put my fingers on the information at this point.

Jon Trenge went to the Olympic Trials and performed well, but finished around 4th I think.
