Rachel Dawson turns dream into reality
Posted Aug 7, 2008
Growing up in Berlin, Rachel Dawson used to sit in front of the television when it was time for the Olympics to be broadcast. She loved to watch the world-class athletes compete -- in all sports -- and dreamed that one day she might be able to represent the United States. The dream has become a reality now as Dawson is one of the 16 women's field hockey players who will represent the U.S. at the Summer Olympics in Beijing.
