Jamie Nieto, an 1999 Eastern
Michigan University graduate and a 2004 Olympian
in the high jump, recently appeared in this
Eastbay shoe advertisement that noted the
company's 25th anniversary. Nieto finished
fourth, just out of the medals, at the 2004
Olympics. He placed second in the high jump
at the 2008 U.S. Olympic Trials, bit could
not represent the U.S. in Beijing, China,
because he did not have the "A" standard
height of 7-6 1/2 coming into the trials.
EMU Spotted is an occasional
feature that appears in FOCUS EMU, noting
the institution's name or affiliated individuals
showing up in out-of-the-way places. If you
have an EMU Spotted item, call Ron Podell
at 487-4400 or e-mail him at rpodell@emich.edu.
