Being at Olympic Village in Rio de Janiero, Brazil, and preparing for competiton will be an intense experience for Deanna Price, but she's relaxed knowing that the village has a chapel.
A third-place finish in the women's hammer throw at the Olympic trials sealed her spot on the team, which will be representing the United States in Rio de Janeiro.
Deanna attended Immaculate Conception School in Old Monroe, Troy Buchanan High School and Southern Illinois University-Carbondale. She's stayed close to her Catholic faith as she's advanced in her sport.
