Stanislaus' Channing Wilson and Abraham Alvarado are two unique track and field athletes for the Warriors athletic program. They are among some of the best to ever compete in their respective sport at Stanislaus and stamped their mark this past season after each embarked on a career-best performance that won them both an opportunity to compete for something they never imagined: a chance at the Olympics. It’s more than a long shot for anybody to even imagine an opportunity to compete amongst those who will certainly make the final selection for Rio, but Wilson and Alvarado will each move one step closer to becoming an Olympian this week after qualifying for the U.S. Olympic Team Trials.
