Dusty Jonas made the US Olympic team and is in or on the way to Beijing to compete in the high jump. (begins 8/17)

And Brittany Timko - former Husker - is on the 18 player roster of the Canadian Olympic soccer squad, which won the opening round game today over Argentina, 2-1.

Christian Cantwell - Mizzou - won Silver in the Shot Put.

Dusty Jonas failed to make the finals of the High Jump - jumped 6 inches less than his 7'8" earlier in the year.

Priscilla Lopes-Schliep - former Husker - qualified for the women's 100 m final (running) - 5th overall.

Priscilla's husband, Bronson Schliep, is a NU dental student, so maybe someone here knows them.

Couple of Nebraska swimmers were present...

Therese Alshammar, representing Sweden, was in the finals of the 50-meter freestyle (she's the one Dara Torres pointed out to the officials as having a ripped suit before the race started).

Adam Pine, Nebraska's one and only men's NCAA champion, represented Australia in the 100-meter butterfly.
