~90% of all Olympians competed collegiately…while only 50% of Paralympic MEDALISTS had the same opportunity. Maybe I’m wrong, but this disparity doesn’t seem compatible with the @NCAA’s “values” of inclusion, diversity, and equity…
Tanner Wright (@thw4840) and Rayven Sample (@sillyarms) are both into the final of the men’s 400m T47 after each finishing in the top three in their heats! Both runners ran a personal best to qualify 🇺🇸

Putting this to rest! Winning ANY Olympic🏅 is incredible. I was always favored for ���� so 🥈🥉 would be disappointing. But if I were a projected finalist,🥉 is a win! Don’t listen to people whose only sport is stirring up shit. Regardless how many followers they have. #Olympics
Spending a week at the beautiful @CVEATC for extra prep with new views.
So thankful for this opportunity and even more excited for the #TokyoParalympics#RoadToTokyo
Solid time for Rayven Sample today (50.34) in the Paralympic Trials in Minneapolis.
The time is just off his personal best at Bucknell (50.29), and places him first in the T45 classification.
Official confirmation for those qualifying to Tokyo is expected to come on Thurs.
Four athletes who can average 50-seconds, in one of the smallest schools in the State. And that's only one of their unique challenges they overcame to win a D2 State Title this weekend.
No Slowing Down For Rayven Sample And The Falconer-CV 4x400m Squad
