Thompson Named to US Olympic Team

Former Kentlake star Courtney Thompson was nominated today to the US Olympic Team for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. The team must still be approved by the US Olympic Committee, but that is a formality. She will join Lindsey Berg in the setting duties. Thompson was instrumental in helping the US National Team to the World Grand Prix title this last weekend as they finished undefeated over the four week tournament. The US Olympic Team will train in Anaheim until they depart for London. Their first match is July 28th. Thompson led Kentlake to three straight State Championships from 2000 to 2002, dropping only one match in the three years.
