Bradley & the Olympics

[tornado]

here's a good column - enjoyed reading it...by Kirk Wessler..
about one of Bradley's all time greats who won an Olympic Medal

http://www.pjstar.com/sports/20160812/wessler-pat-redds-1932-olympics-silver-medal-still-golden-moment-for-bradley

This has all been covered before - but was nice reading during this year's Olympics

http://www.bradley.edu/about/publications/hilltopics/2012spring/extras/redd/

How many other athletes who have attended BRADLEY have won an Olympic Medal??

I know of TWO who have won an Olympic medal in BASKETBALL - any others??
Matt Savoie competed in the Olympics but a reference says he finished 7th

In 1984 baseball was a "demonstration sport" so officially the medals did not count..
but Bradley's Mike Dunne was on the SILVER MEDAL winning USA squad!

It was nice to read that. It is almost the same column Kirk wrote back in 2007 about Pat Redd. The original PJ Star column is no longer available, but here is a summary from Bradleyfans.com-

actually that former column from 2007 is accessible..
but it plots up kinda odd "Olympic leaper on of BU's sleepers" (they never explain what's meant by being one of BU's sleepers)

but if you can't get it, I can send it to you
With a few changes in text, however - they are essentially the same article- even using the same quotes from seven years ago

I tried that once in college, turning in the same paper twice. Didn't turn out too well.

I guess its not plagerism when you steal your own stuff, but it seems like he should have said it was a reboot of an old article from 2007.

it's what TV does when they either run out of ideas or out of money...
they call them reruns

who was the first Peorian to win an Olympic medal or compete in Olympic basketball?
