My locals in the Olympics report for today. Becky Saurbrunn, captain of the women's soccer team from Ladue High School will be leading the team against Sweden kicking off right now.
Gwen Berry from Mcluer High School (about 3 miles from my house) and SIU Carbondale and Deanna Price from Troy Buchanan High in Moscow Mills and SIU Carbondale are both competing in the women's hammer throw Group A qualifications at 6:40 PM CDT.
U.S. archer Zach Garrett of Wellington, Mo (population 812) won a silver in men's team competition but just got beaten by a fellow US archer in individual competition by 1 point.
