Dawn Harper beats the odds at Olympics

Golden run

Nestor posted yesterday about our latest Golden Bruin. Here are video and additional news coverage for those that missed it.

"Good things do happen to good people."

Jeanette Bolden, who doubles as UCLA's track coach and head coach of the women's Olympic team, recalled watching Harper push herself to recover from knee surgery while a Bruin.

"It doesn't matter who people predict supposedly to win if you have faith and confidence in yourself. Dawn's always had a lot of confidence in herself," Bolden said. "She's just had a lot of ups and downs in her career.

"Good things do happen to good people."

Local coverage

Great to hear the letters "UCLA" on the news. Maybe our football team can take some inspiration from this story and beat the odds this upcoming season.

Awesome and Thanks!

Was really glad to see that one of our own won but also felt really bad for Lolo Jones, especially after hearing about her struggles growing up in a broken home. Congratulations to Dawn!
