Haven't had a chance to look at how many alums might be competing in London this year, but I did come across this recent article on Morgan Uceny.
EDIT: The U.S. track and field trials are June 21-July 1 in Eugene, Ore.

Retweeted by @CornellSports, so I assume that means he's one of ours:
Edit: I guess they were just RTing the mention in SI, since this was on eLF already.
Ken Jurkowski qualifies for @london2012 by winning the men's single sculls at the U.S Rowing Olympic trials.

Jurkowski makes quarter finals in single sculls.
Jurkowski finished fifth of six in his quarterfinal and is out of the medal hunt. He gets to keep rowing for placement in the final standings and will row in semifinal D on August 1.

Uceny falls with about a lap and a half to go. Not sure if she completed her run.

Thanks. Too bad. No telling what would have happened, but the pace was very slow so it appeared to be anybody's race.

Wow that is a real shame, especially with the slow pace and since that was the second time that happened to her.

Clearly accidental, though, which this sort of thing often isn't.
