Loren Groves in the spotlight

23 May 2008 at 08:16 - 0 comments - link
Kansas State junior Loren Groves has been getting some headlines over the past week.  She was the feature of two columns last week: an article in the Kansas City Star and an interview in the Topeka Capital-Journal.  She was also the subject of a short article in the the Kansas State Collegian two weeks ago after she broke the school record.  Groves has had a great season after redshirting last year.  She currently has the fifthe best mark of the nation and also has a top ten mark in the discus.  This month she has already broken the Kansas State school record in the hammer and won a Big 12 title.  As she looks towards the end of the season, she has told the Topeka Capital-Journal her goals:

I want to go to regionals and try to make nationals. It'd be awesome to be an All-American in hammer because I haven't accomplished that yet. I found out I'm in 12th-post collegiately in the hammer now, so I'm hoping that's a good enough mark to get into the Olympic trials in July. That would be one of my biggest goals I've ever accomplished. Ever since I was a little girl I've always wanted to be in the Olympics. Going to the trials would be a big step.
