I still love to watch Sac Gymnastics on occasion, even though the best gymnast I've ever seen has long departed the college scene.
I REALLY miss Jolane Parr. Shoulda gone to the Olympics....
SuperHornet's Athletics Hall of Fame includes Jacksonville State kicker Ashley Martin, the first girl to score in a Division I football game. She kicked 3 PATs in a 2001 game for J-State.

I'm guessing that she didn't go in 1988 because she was too old at 17.
Complete misconception. There was a 35-year-old girl at the last Olympics who medalled.

Wouldn't that be a 35-year-old woman?
I mean, if I referred to a guy as a 35-year-old boy, people would find it strange.
Though I suppose it all depends on how the individual in question behaves. I know there are some 35 year olds out there that still act pretty immature.

She wasn't Olympic quality, just All-American.

Yeah, in swimming.
"Elaine, you're from Baltimore, right?"
"Yes, well, Towson actually."
The US swimming medalist was in her early 40s. There was a Russian flipping for Germany who medalled in gym at about 35.

When it comes to the latest crop of Olympians, it's all about Shawnie. But my ultimate choice would have to be Amanda Borden from the Mag 7.
