Aug. 7, 2008
FORT WORTH, Texas - St. Kitts and Nevis has selected former Flyin' Frog Virgil Hodge as its flag-bearer for the opening ceremonies on Friday at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.
"It is a great honor for her," said track and field head coach Darryl Anderson. "She deserves it and has earned it."
Hodge, who was a six-time All-American and the 2008 Mountain West Conference Indoor Student-Athlete of the Year, will run for St. Kitts and Nevis next weekend in both the 100 and 200 meters. She will be doing a weekly journal for GoFrogs.com while in Beijing following the opening ceremonies.
