AKRON, Ohio - The German Olympic Sports Federation (DOSB) announced on Tuesday, July 12, that former University of Akron track standout Annika Roloff has been named to the German Olympic Team in women's pole vault for the XXXI Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
"What a great honor for Annika," Akron head track and field coach Dennis Mitchell commented. "It was exciting watching her progress this year.
