The Olympic games in Beijing is coming up in the next week or two. Be sure to root for the local athletes representing our country:

Courtney King-Dye (trains in Bedford) — dressage
McLain Ward (from Brewster) — equestrian
Sarah Mergenthaler (former coach at American Yacht Club in Rye) — sailing
Then we have a few local athletes representing other countries that deserve some love too:
Milan Jotanovic (Manhattan College) — shot put for Serbia
Aliann Pompey (Manhattan College) — track for Guyana

I’ll add more to the list if I find more and try to update you guys on their progress when the games start.
