Roar, Lions, Roar!

Catjjy and I were just watching the US Track & Field Olympic Trials. They did a human interest piece on an incredibly beautiful woman named Delilah Dicrescenzo. It seems the lead singer of Plain White T's met her one night and was so smitten with her that he promised to write a song about her. The song, "Hey There Delilah," got nominated for a Grammy and she attended the awards as his date. Adorable, though the report stopped short of saying how far this guy got for writing a ubiquitous song about her (love-love? mouth-love? hand-love? they should have finished the story).

How did this make an Olympics broadcast? She is a champion steeple chase runner - the one where you stomp through the puddles and jump over hurdles. She didn't make the Olympic team, which is a shame for NBC. But she did make the finals. Not bad for a hot girl.

How is this on The Hose? Amazingly, she ran track for the Columbia Lions (alma mater to more than a few Hosers). Three-time Ivy League champion steeple chaser. Amazing.

Roar, Lions, Roar!
