When the Olympic Flame is lit inside Olympic Stadium on Friday night, thousands of athletes will begin their dream of representing their home nation on the biggest stage in sport as the start to the 2012 London Olympic Games is marked. Six of those athletes hoping to make the medal stand will be Kansas State Wildcats.

The K-State track and field team will have a combined total of six current or former athletes competing at the Olympics, the most ever in the program's history. The total of six surpasses the previous high of five set in 1996 that also saw former Wildcat Kenny Harrison win gold in the triple jump while also setting an Olympic record in the event.

Two current Wildcats highlight the Olympians with junior Erik Kynard representing Team USA in the men's high jump and senior Jeffrey Julmis running the 110 meter hurdles for Haiti. Julmis is only the second Haitian to run the event at the Olympics, and Kynard is the fourth Wildcat to compete in the high jump at the games.

A pair of Lithuanians represent K-State's strength in the combined events as 2004 silver medalist Austra Skujyte looks to medal again as she also becomes the first woman to compete in the heptathlon in three Olympics. Darius Draudvila will compete in his first Olympics in the decathlon, qualifying at the Lithuanian Championship.

K-State's distance program is well represented as well with two runners in the women's 3,000 meter steeplechase. Puerto Rican national record holder Beverly Ramos is running in her first games after a successful career as a Wildcat recently. Jamaica's Korene Hinds is making her second trip to the Olympics, qualifying at the age of 35 this time around.

This group of Wildcats will be hard pressed to surpass the record of three medals won in 1956 by Wildcats when Thane Baker took home a gold, silver and bronze. It still has the potential to be a great Olympic Games for K-State with Skujyte's experience and previous medal-winning performance and the upcoming talent of Kynard, Julmis and Ramos. Kynard enters the Olympics ranked No. 6 in the world.
