It's Olympic time again

By Tim Haddock on June 8, 2008 6:10 PM | | Comments (0) |

The Summer Games don't start until Aug. 8, but teams are being formed, trials are taking place and people from the Valley and its adjacent areas are preparing for Beijing.
Two events that are coming up are the Team USA BMX trials in Chula Vista on Saturday and the Team USA diving trials the following week. That's right, the USA has a national BMX team and four area riders are among eight riders competing for one spot on the team.
Starting June 18, Team USA diving trials are in Indianapolis, with Buena High of Ventura's Troy Dumais among the favorites to make the team.
We'll keep track of some of the area's top athletes and track their progress as they prepare for the Summer Olympics.
