Winning Our Hearts...

Quann is Golden in 100 M Breaststroke

Sixteen-year-old Megan Quann from Puyallup, Washington, swam the 100 meters in 1:07.05, beating Australia's Lisel Jones, and sending world record holder Penny Heyns of South Africa into third place. But winning an Olympic gold medal fulfills only half of Quann's goals-her next challenge is to break the Heyns' world record time of 1:06.52. "I know I'm going to get it someday," Quann said. "Until I do, I will be pushed hard."
