Speaker: Connie Carpenter Phinney, an Olympic Gold Medalist in cycling and all around amazing athlete. At the 1984 Olympics she edged out a competitor to win the road race by inches. (See video). She was a speed skater in the 1972 Olympics, making her one of just a few dual-sport Olympians. And she was a National Collegiate Champion Rower while at Cal-Berkeley, before going on to CU for a Master’s in Science.
