Guam - A Guam Olympian is
in need of our votes. 16-year-old Ben Schulte may have placed last in the 10k
open water competition of the London Olympics earlier this year, but his
determination to finish proved him a true Olympian and garnered him a
nomination for the World Open Water Swimming Association's Man of the Year
award.
His mother, Lou Aguon Schulte, asks the island to support her son,
who is currently preparing to compete in 11 events in the Queensland State
Championships in Brisbane
next week. "It's important for the community of Guam
to stand behind their representative cast their vote online anytime now but no
later than December 31," she said.
