Katelyn Falgowski Looks Back On Olympic Experience

Posted Oct 30, 2008
The list of Carolina Tar Heels that have participated in the Olympics is ever growing, but it is always a special honor to be a student-athlete and an Olympian concurrently. Katelyn Falgowski, a sophomore midfielder from Landenberg, Pa., was the only current college player to attend the 2008 Beijing games as a member of the United States field hockey team. To her though, high achievement seems to come with the territory. (Tar Heel Blue)
