qualified for her fourth Olympic Games after having finished second in
the 200 breast (2:25.13) at the U.S. Olympic Swimming Trials in Omaha,
NE on Friday. Beard, who joined Team Bruin earlier this year, joins
UCLA alum Kim Vandenberg as 2008 Olympians for America.

About Inside UCLA
This is Brian Dohn's sixth season covering UCLA after spending 4 1/2 years covering the Dodgers for the Daily News and other Los Angeles Newspaper Group papers. He graduated from Rutgers, where the first college football game was played in 1869. Sure, the Scarlet Knights suffered for a long time, but now RU is doing what Jerseyans always thought was possible. Winning at Rutgers also proves winning is possible everywhere else in the nation, so underachieving coaches better be careful. Now, if only men's hoops can turn it around.
I am pretty sure Amanda Beard went to University of Arizona.
And I am pretty sure she posed for Playboy, although I don't think she is that good looking.
