U.S. Olympic Team Regina Jacobs, former Stanford great, makes fourth Olympic team. Gabe Jennings, who earlier this year won the NCAA indoor and outdoor champion in the mile, earned a berth on the United States Olympic team with a first place finish in the 1,500 meters. Cardinal teammate Michael Stember finished third to secure a spot on the American team. That is also the best time by an American runner in 2000. For Jennings, being a member of the U.S. Olympic team and going to the Sydney Olympics, is a dream come true.
All young kids do that.
Here I am now. I can't explain it. It's one thing to dream it, quite another to make your dreams come true. If he doesn't make the standard on July 29, Stember will compete in meets in London and Zurich. That time bettered her two-year old American record by 7.14 seconds.
