Western Kentucky track and field alumni Michelle Finn, Gavin Smellie and Martin Owusu-Antwi made Olympic track and field rosters, making four former Hilltoppers set to compete in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics at the end of July and into August.
Finn will compete for Ireland in the women’s 3,000-meter steeplechase while Owusu-Antwi was selected for Ghana’s 4x100-meter relay team. Smellie is likely to compete on Canada’s relay team as well.
Finn is a four-time Sun Belt Conference champion, having won the 2010 and 2012 3,000-meter steeplechase, the 2011 outdoor 5,000-meter run and was a member of the 2010 indoor distance medley relay champion team.
