    Olympians The University of Colorado has produced 60+ Olympians (through the 2008 Summer Games). The majority of the Olympians to come from the Boulder campus are former members of the Buffs’ esteemed ski teams, with alumni also competing in figure skating (2), bobsledding (1), equestrian (1), luge (3), basketball (3), cycling (1) while the following list of athletes have competed in track and field during the 20th Century. Ambassador David Bolen, Colorado’s first Olympian, finished fourth in the 400-m dash during the 1948 Summer Games in London, England. In his name, Colorado established the David Bolen Olympic Award in 1949, awarded to any current CU student-athlete who competes under the United States flag.

  • Cow in the Museum
    There’s a Cow in Our Museum by Mike O’Hara We have a very special cow in our Brighton-Allston Heritage Museum. Her name is “Moo-rathon Runner.” She is not, of course, a real marathon runner, or even a real cow. She is a fiberglass cow. Also, “Moo-rathon Runner” is only part of her name. Her full name is “Moo-rathon Runner on Cow- moo-nwealth Avenue,” which is the title given to her by her design artist, Laura Brooks Meyer, a Boston-based interior designer and artist who entered her in Boston’s Cow Parade back in 2006. Such whimsical names were common among the 117 cows that, like “Moo,” joined Boston’s version of the Cow Parade. For instance, down in the Financial District there was “Cash Cow”; the Waterfront area hosted “Cowtucket”; and in the Back Bay “A Street Cow Named Desire” and “Moom with a View.” So, just what is a Cow Parade? Well, first of all, it is not a real parade. Rather, it is a collection of life size fiberglass cow sculptures designed and painted by local artists featuring artwork specific to local culture, city life and other relevant themes and situated in public places all over the city to provide an enjoyable, unique, family-friendly art-viewing experience. The event also serves to energize the retail and commercial areas in which the cows appear, and at the end of the viewing period, typically three or four months, raises money for worthy causes (usually local children’s hospitals and other charitable organizations) through a public auction.
