Huntsville’s Hoelzer Captures Bronze

Huntsville’s Margaret Hoelzer finished third in the finals of the women’s 100 meter backstroke competition today, capturing her first Olympic  medal.

Well done, Marge. All of Alabama, even the Roll Tide types, are rejoicing.

Now it’s on to the 200 meter backstroke later this week (she’s the current world record holder) where she will be the favorite.

    BTW, Hoelzer was in 5th place at the turn.

    Nice charge, “Sarge Marge!”
