    He ran a great race and good luck in London. I Hope Nike does not bleed you too much. Also congratulations to Coach Samara and Coach Dolan. I know you are proud of Donn and I hope you have that satisfaction of your job well done as well for all of the teams.

    Why isn't this story on the Princeton University homepage? Isn't this big news? Donn is representing his country and Princeton University in the olympics! This is huge, way bigger than any of the crap on the main page....who decides this stuff anyway?

    Sorry for the rant. Congrats to Donn and good luck in London!

    Huge congrats to Donn but kudos also to Ashley Higginson whom finished 4th in the women's steeplechase and to half a dozen tigers and alums who made finals. And yes - the University Home page should be sure to do an article on the 16 Princetonians competing in London and perhaps acknowledge another two-dozen who coppered in Olympic Trials!

    @PU:
    Donn Cabral is great, but he's not alone - there will be over a dozen Princetonians at the Olympics (rowing, fencing, field hockey...).

    Also, he's not "representing PU", he's now with Nike. They didn't even allow him to run the final in a Princeton shirt.

    If you listened to Donn speak, you would see that he is still representing Princeton. His love and appreciation for Princeton is evident and admirable.

    Additionally, Donn has been the most recent Olympian to make the team, so should probably be acknowledged.
