This past weekend at the University of Cincinnati's Homecoming, 2008 Olympic Medalists Mary Wineberg (Gold,4x400 relay) and David Payne (Silver,110 Hurdles) were honored with a parade as well as a half time celebration that included past UC Olympic Medalists such as George Wilson (1964 Gold Medalist, Basketball) and Jenny Kemp (1972 Gold Medalist, Swimming). Also on hand was NBC Analyst and former UC Track and Field athlete Lewis Johnson. I was really impressed with how "down to earth" all of the athletes were. Mary and David signed autographs and took pictures with all as did George Wilson and the rest. Lewis Johnson really became a favorite of mine when he after meeting my 15 yr old son (who is a National Champion in Track and Field as well as a Basketball Player) started immediately speaking to him about academics and how not to be forced to go to a Junior College in order to reach his goal. My son has heard this all before, but having him hear from someone who I had not pre-planned this with was AWESOME!!!! It was a great time for all!
