Former Radford U Runner Competes for Serbia

When I posted my earlier entry today, I was unaware that my alma mater Radford University, a relatively small state university near Virginia Tech, had an athlete competing in Beijing.

Goran Nava, pictured here, is originally from Italy but he competed for Serbia (the largest of the former Yugoslav republics) on Friday. Serbia is the country of his mother.

Nava is a track and field athlete and he competed in the 1,500 relay where he finished sixth. The race was broadcast on NBC earlier tonight.

The Olympian is RU's most decorated track and field athlete.

During his RU years (2002-04), Nava compiled 19 Big South Conference titles.
