Just some food for thought. Pretty cool that 3 Olympians were on the same cross country team in college....all running for different countries.
Lopez Lomong- USA
David McNeill- Australia
Diego Estrada- Mexico

I think Estrada and Lomong were never on the same team. If my memory serves me right (and it may not) Estrada came in for fall 2008.
Estrada was not on that team but NAU has produced some great athletes.
my bad...
another one to throw in there is Mo Trafeh in 2007. I know he transferred to NAU, not sure if he ever ran in uniform though.
He could be potentially another Olympian in that short era.
Mo Trafeh never competed for NAU. It will be exciting to see these three competing at the Games this year though!
Estrada was not on the same team, but yea that is a great accomplishment for a small school like NAU. Lopez Lamong hasn't made the team for London yet. It will be cool to see 3 Lumberjacks in London though.
I'll be rooting for them.
Stanford had a few Olympians from their 90s/00s group.
