Показать описание
Four Huskers will be represented on Olympic track and field rosters at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.
Nick Percy (Ventnor, England) is making his Olympics debut, representing Great Britain in the discus. A five-time British Champion and the 2016 NCAA Discus Champion, Percy threw 67.73m in the discus, the second-furthest throw of all time by a British athlete on his first day of competition at the Oklahoma Throws Series in April 2024. After winning the discus silver medal at the 2024 British Athletics Championships, Percy was named to the Great Britain team for the 2024 Summer Olympics. During his time at Nebraska, Percy was a four-time All-American, three-time Big Ten Champion and the 2017 Nebraska Male Athlete of the Year. He'll begin competing in the qualification round of the discus on Aug. 5.
On Aug. 7, Rhema Otabor will take on the javelin qualification round. Representing the Bahamas, Otabor won her second-straight NCAA javelin title in June, breaking the collegiate record, NCAA meet record, school record and Bahamian record with a 210-7 (64.19m). Before defending her NCAA title, she went back-to-back at the Big Ten Championships, winning the javelin title with a 189-6 (57.75m).
Axelina Johansson (Hok, Sweden) and Miné De Klerk (Welkom, South Africa) are set to compete in the shot put qualification round on Aug. 8. Johansson is a four-time First-Team All-American, the 2023 NCAA Outdoor Shot Put Champion and a two-time NCAA bronze medalist. She was recently named a First-Team Academic All-American, a year after being named to the second team. After Johansson's NCAA title last season, she was named the Big Ten Women's Outdoor Field Athlete of the Year and the USTFCCCA Midwest Region Women's Field Athlete of the Year. De Klerk just completed her first year competing with the Huskers, marked by winning the Big Ten Indoor shot put title, claiming the bronze at Big Ten Outdoors and earning her first-career First-Team All-America honor at the NCAA Indoor Championships.
