Karen Shelton Reflects On Olympic Experience
Posted Aug 3, 2016
As a player, UNC field hockey coach Karen Shelton was a member of two U.S. Olympic teams: the 1980 team that boycotted the Games and the 1984 team that competed in Los Angeles and won a bronze medal, the USA’s highest finish ever. As the UNC coach, she has watched current and former players compete. This year’s U.S. squad includes five former Tar Heels.
