Posted 8:33 AM 8/3/2012 : Vote for your favorite Olympic Dreamer!
All week long, the News 4 Tucson Today crew has had Olympic Dreams!
John, Danielle, Nichole, Jeff and Samantha trained with former Olympic athletes and coaches, and all week, we've been sharing their Olympic experiences on Tucson Today.
John trained with world-class cyclist Kathryn Bertine, Danielle took aim at the Tucson Trap and Skeet Club, Nichole vaulted the hurdles with former Olympic athlete LaTanya Sheffield, Samantha took to the pool with UA swimming coach Rick DeMony, and Jeff tried his hand (and feet) at gymnastics in the final installment of Olympic Dreamers.
Check out the videos of their training above, and also, check out the News 4 Tucson Facebook page to see each Dreamer's blooper reel!
