CONGRATS TO CULLEN JONES & THE U.S. RELAY SWIM TEAM!

Monday, August 11, 2008

With all the sadness that happened this weekend, it great to finally post some positive news.

24 year-old Cullen Jones (along with Jason Lezak, Michael Phelps, Garrett Weber-Gale) took home Gold on Monday, during the 4X100m freestyle relay swimming final. Jones, who helped set the new world record in the event, is only the 3rd black person to ever make the Olympic swim team. Congrats to Cullen and the Relay team.

In related news, Jones has funneled his love for swimming into a cause for him. He currently assists the USA Swimming Foundation’s ‘Make A Splash’ Program in helping minorities learn how to swim.
