Seven years ago, he was a lightly-recruited high school sprinter from Lexington, Ky. Since then, he’s traveled the road to community college, the University of Arkansas, and the professional ranks—all while upgrading his name from unknown to world champion.

From McCordsville, Ind., she is the 500-watt gymnast who has eschewed the traditional home schooling route of her peers to maintain the ‘normal’ existence of mainstream schooling. She also debuted a double twisting double back on floor, a skill that only a few women in the world can do. Samantha was named USA Gymnastics TOPs Athlete of the Year for 2007. She has a firm grasp of every minute of her day, from being a straight A student into the afternoon, to a focused and serious competitor in the evening.</description><pubDate>Tue, 05 Aug 2008 22:04:20 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Kayaking: Brett Heyl</title><link>http://tv.blinkx.com/show/a-shot-at-glory/mXK4gcRE0DvNIZAo8L_34tjJKJM#s1e7</link><description>Two years ago, Brett Heyl sought to improve his stock within the American kayaking scene - so he packed up everything he owned and moved to Charlotte, N.C., the new home of the U.S. Whitewater Center.</description><pubDate>Tue, 05 Aug 2008 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Triathlon: Laura Bennett</title><link>http://tv.blinkx.com/show/a-shot-at-glory/mXK4gcRE0DvNIZAo8L_34tjJKJM#s1e6</link><description>Triathlete Laura Bennett, from North Palm Beach, Fla., came close to greatness before, narrowly missing out on the Olympics in 2000 and 2004.
