My wife and I will be cheering for one key member of team USA this year at the Olympic games, Allyson Felix. Allyson's dad is a seminary professor at The Master's Seminary (my alumni school). The Felix family loves the Lord and have wonderful testimonies. Make sure to pray for Allyson and to cheer her on this summer!

"The world's dominant 200m runner, Felix was a heavy favorite to win her specialty event entering the Olympic Trials, even though she had yet to run a 200m in 2008. But coming off the curve in the final, it was 100m champion Muna Lee, running in lane 6 to Felix's lane 5, who held the lead. A composed Felix pulled even with Lee, then kept pushing to win in 21.82 (+5.6mps)…In 2007, Felix became the second woman in history to win 3 gold medals at one World Championships. She won the 200m in a huge personal best of 21.81 seconds (1.7 mps wind), the fastest time run by a woman this century. The time improved Felix's previous best by .30 and was the biggest margin of victory in World Championships history (.53). She then went on to win gold in both relays, running the second leg of the 4x100m (41.98) and the 4x400m (3:18.55) with perhaps the fastest 4x400m relay leg ever by an American woman at a major championship (unofficially 48.0)...The world's dominant 200m runner, Felix was a heavy favorite to win her specialty event entering the Olympic Trials, even though she had yet to run a 200m in 2008.
