Natasha Hastings will don the red, white and blue again, as she qualified for next month's games in the 400m dash and as part of the 4x400m relay. A three-time national champion while at South Carolina, Hastings will now make her third-straight appearance at the Olympic games. She won gold with the 4x400m relay team in Beijing in 2008, and was also in the relay pool for the 2012 games in London but did not race. Now, in 2016, she will not only run as a relay member, but gets her first chance to run as an individual quarter-miler after taking a full second off her best qualifying time to nab the bronze medal at trials.


quote:

Hastings joins three international qualifiers for South Carolina: Aliyah Abrams (Guyana), Kierre Beckles (Barbados), and Jeannelle Scheper (St. Lucia). Abrams will represent her parent's native country of Guyana in the 400m and 4x400m relay. Just a freshman, Abrams has already enjoyed one of the best seasons by a Gamecock in recent years -- earning bronze at the outdoor national meet and silver at SECs for the 4x4.

No doubt, Rio is a shithole of a city. Sure there are nice parts, but a lot of it is slums (and I mean way dumpier than anything we have in the states.)

They had to build "sound walls" along the interstate from the airport to the hotel district so visitors won't see the slums.


Update in OP though. Curtis Frye will Coach Men's Sprinters.
