Olympian Jenny Thompson declines UNH honor over men’s team cut
Jenny Thompson, premier American swimmer, rejects UNH’s Charles Holmes Pettee Medal as protest against the university’s move to cut the men’s swimming team. She has no ties to UNH but cites state’s largest university’s stance on Olympic sports and says she cannot accept an award from an institution that doesn’t support such endeavors. About 50 swimmers and supporters protested at the Statehouse, pressing Gov. John Lynch with Thompson’s statement.
