MEETING PRESIDENT OBAMA
From Thayer:
More than two months have passed since the Olympics but the memories remain fresh and positive.

I hear from Mike every so often and was excited when he sent me a picture taken when the U.S. Olympic team visited the White House in late September. Now Mike and Keron Stoute (MHS 09') can argue over what is the bigger deal: Keron met the Queen of England at the Commonwealth Games in 2014, and now Mike has met President Obama.
I'm also happy to report that Mike plans on visiting Manchester later this month and I am looking forward to seeing him.
Looking back on the whole Olympic experience I am grateful to have had the opportunity to witness so many outstanding athletes and performances. At times I feel as though it was an unreal experience, However, whenever some asks me about the trip I still remember the excitement in the air, the feel of the cool night air, the smells of the food and the cheering crowds. I can't help but smile at how blessed I was to be there and watch history unfold. Watching Mike reach the highest level in all of sports -- it is difficult to put into
words accurately.
Through all of Mike's success and achievements he is still a focused determined man that is humbly great full for all of God's blessings
