2012 London Olympians from SBC schools?
I was wondering what SBC-related alums I can cheer on in the London Olympics this summer?

Denver has 3 qualified for London so far - Denver and SBC record holding Swimmer Blake Worsley '09 qualified to swim for Canada in the 200m freestyle, while Denver women's gynmasts Simona Castro '13 will compete for Chile and Denver gymnastic alum Jessica Lopez '09 will compete for Venezuela.

Any other SBC-related athletes to compete in London this summer?

UL alum Lawrence Willis has a chance in the triple jump. He finished 4th in the USATF Indoor nationals; a 3rd outdoors would put him in.

Is ULM alum Breaux Greer still throwing the javelin? If so, he should be in.
