Things have been a little restless here in our Kentucky insurance office. Charlie, a Kentucky sportscaster and Kentucky insurance agent, has many friends in the Kentucky sports arena. Players, coaches, fans and reporters all have been filtering in the office looking a little lost. Call it withdrawals. Call it the summer doldrums. Call it whatever you want, without football and basketball these boys are just a little adrift.
The Olympics are coming...a great Summer Diversion
So maybe, we can get rid of the long faces and celebrate some Kentucky sports folks that may not get all the accolades they deserve. How about the University of Louisville Cardinals Swimming and Diving team? The Cards are sending seven swimmers to the Olympic trials! Way to go!
Big East swimmer of the year,Leslie VanWinkle, has been shaving time off her previous records and looks to be a real contender for Olympic glory. Louisville teammates Minnesota native, Liz Halet, and Alabama native Anna Dishuck will also be in the trials.
Looking the the Cardinal men, freestyle swimmer Carlos Van Isschot, a Florida native, is the most promising. Tim Collins, Doug Dietrich, and Chris Findorff round out the Cardinals hopefuls.
So get out of the summer doldrums. The Olympics are coming, and maybe just maybe some of that Kentucky sports fever can be quenched. Good luck to the U of L Swimming and Diving Team!
