Arkansas's list is impressive. Lochte from FL made it I'm sure.

Change your thread title Bbobalou...This thread is anchored...Possible change is...SEC Athletes in Olympics...just a one word title is going to get anchored every time.

UGA is looking to send around 30 current or former athletes to Rio this summer.
Posted on 7/10/16 at 6:49 pm to PNW
Ok, done. Looks like florida has 6 so far trying to link. Lochte is past

I RA'd for a sticky since the Olympics are right around the corner. Maybe the OP can post a team by team list in the original post.
Ive edited Arkansas' list to include the latest pole vaulters to put the schools number at 15 so far.

It's almost a month away. I don't mind stickying this thread, but it's a little premature, yeah?
Posted on 7/10/16 at 7:21 pm to LewDawg
Only premature if you hate merica.

Yea maybe. Though, I think today's track and field finals will wrap up the Olympic qualifying for Rio? I think? Certainly interesting to see how our leagues institutions are represented.
Maybe not sticky it for an entire month or anything...It's up to you...Im just interested in seeing what all everyone is sending and would hate to see it fall off the front page for a few days.
I know along with Arkansas....Georgia, Florida, Auburn, and some times LSU send a lot of summer Olympians.

Do you have a certain site to get your info from? I'll do UGA's. Anything to not study for this accounting exam
Posted on 7/10/16 at 7:27 pm to LewDawg
No I don't. Arkansas just keeps up with theirs on the schools website and twitter feed.
