SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Laura Gerraughty, the North Carolina senior who once dreamed of being an Olympic gymnast, will be going to the Games in a far different event -- the shot put.

Gerraughty won the women's shot put final at the U.S. Olympic trails Friday night with a throw of 60 feet, 8 1/2 inches.

"I shaking, I'm just so excited," Gerraughty said as she prepared to go to the victory stand at Sacramento State's Hornet Stadium. "I can't wait to represent my country in Athens."

With two and a half inches to spare. LOL

Was Kerry's pitch the "bounce" they were looking for at the convention?

I wouldn't want to be at the plate with her at the mound. Broken bat foul for sure.
