KENT, Ohio — Reggie Jagers III and Danniel Thomas-Dodd will continue a legacy of Kent State track and field throwers who have been able to add 'Olympian' to their résumé when they compete at the Games of the XXXII Olympiad in Tokyo next weekend. The former teammates are expected to be in contention for spots on the medal podium, which is something no Golden Flashes thrower has been able to achieve.
This is the second Olympics for Thomas-Dodd, who placed 26th at the 2016 Rio Olympics while competing for Jamaica, while Jagers II is set for his Olympics debut.
