FORMER JACKET HEADED TO 800M FINALS AT OLYMPIC TRIALS
Full story here on proving his potential (David Krummenacker), from SI.com...... Former GT grad Angelo Taylor will also head to the finals of the 400m hurdles....... Here, Krummenacker comments on the Balco scandal:

David Krummenacker, the favorite in the men's 800 meters and a former Georgia Tech star, doesn't think BALCO will overshadow the Trials.

"I think in anything in life, there are always people who are trying to cheat," he said. "If you see elementary kids, someone's looking over their shoulder to cheat on tests. And it happens all the way up through companies like Enron and Martha Stewart."

But drugs, he said, "are bad for everyone. Nobody wins in that situation."
