Demus and Crawford Qualify for Olympic Track Team
South Carolina junior Lashinda Demus clinched a third place in the 400 meter hurdles at the U.S. Olympic Trials in Sacramento to earn her first Olympics. Former Clemson sprinter Shawn Crawford earned the third spot in the 100 meters, while SC senior Tony Allmond finished second in the long jump but must meet the A standard to secure a spot. Allmond remains confident, aiming for a wind-aided jump that still met competition standards, as coach Curtis Frye anticipates Athens.
