Meet the Olympian
We are rescheduling
our Meet the
Olympian for another
time during practice
where we will have
David Neville coming
out to meet and
inspire the kids. We
will let you know
when that will
happen via our
newsletter.
David Neville
was the 400
meter bronze
medalist and a
gold medalist as
a member for the
4x400 meter
relay team that
set an Olympic
record in the
2008 Summer
Games in Beijing
More About David
In the 2008
Olympic 400m
final, out of
Lane nine, he
physically dove
across the
finish line with
a time of 44.80
seconds, holding
off Bahamian
Chris Brown who
placed fourth in
44.84.
"Sometimes we
have to
sacrifice our
bodies, our
minds, our
spirits,"
Neville said
after the race.
"That's what I
did. I knew I
had to dive." In
the same Olympic
Games, he
captured gold as
a member of the
4x400m relay
team. Neville
ran the third
leg with a split
of 44.16 helping
the relay team
set the Olympic
record
(2:55.39). The
speedster
attended Indiana
University from
2003-2005,
redshirting his
freshman year so
he could be a
member of the IU
marching band as
a snare drummer.
Music is a big
part of
Neville's life
as he has been
playing since
the fourth
grade. He also
plays music at
his church, the
Santa Clarita
Christian
Fellowship.
After returning
to the track, he
found his way
into the IU
records book on
multiple
occasions as he
set records for
the 200m, 400m,
4x400m relay and
the distance
medley relay. In
addition to the
school records,
he captured four
Big Ten
conference
titles. After an
outstanding
career at IU,
Neville decided
to forgo his
senior season so
he could sign a
professional
contract. He
did, however,
complete his
degree in music
education and
would like to
teach music at
the middle
school or high
school level
following his
track career.
