Williams College at Olympic Trials - July 07, 2008
Lindsay Payne '06 finishes 7th in 100 breaststroke at Olympic Trials
OMAHA, NE. — Former Eph standout Lindsay Payne '06 placed 7th in the finals of the 100 breaststroke at the United States Olympic Swimming Trials being held at the Qwest Center in Omaha, Neb. Tuesday night.
Payne finished the race in 1:08.89, 2.02 seconds off the winning time of 1:06.87 by record-holder Jessica Hardy. Megan Jendrick placed second with a time of 1:07.50. Hardy and Jendrick claimed the two spots on the 2008 USA Summer Olympics swim team.
Payne, named the 2006 Honda Inspiration Award Winner for overcoming cancer and contributing to the success of her team, was a two-time Swimmer of the Meet at the Div. III NCAA Championships and multiple-event All-American and record holder nationally while at Williams. Since September of 2006, She has been swimming with the University of Southern California Trojan Swim Club in Los Angeles.
Dan Austin '06 does not advance at Olympic discus trials
EUGENE, OREGON - Dan Austin (Mechanicsburg, PA) placed 11th in the 12-person second flight of throwers at the U.S. Olympic Track & Field Trials in the discus Wednesday night in Eugene, Oregon and did not advance to the finals of the event.
Austin was attempting to overcome a self-imposed layoff from the event after a subpar throwing year as a graduate student at the University of Arizona. He was hoping to re-gain the form and technique that enabled him to throw 208' feet shortly after graduating from Williams in 2006 and contest for a spot on the U.S. Olympic Team headed to Beijing.
Austin's best throw of the competition sailed 53.12m (174' 3").
Soon Austin will join Teach for America in the New York City area and he has been assigned to a school in the Bronx. He may choose to continue throwing while participating in Teach for America due to the history of discus throwers maturing in their late 20s and/or early 30s. |
