Manteo Mitchell at Gardner-Webb University

2012 Olympic Silver Medalist from Mooresboro, NC, visits hometown Gardner-Webb University. Gardner-Webb welcomed the professional Nike athlete to Spangler Stadium during a Saturday football game against Wofford College, where he spoke to student groups, spent time with select donors and signed autographs for fans. Mitchell earned international praise for his heroic efforts in the 4X400 meter relay preliminaries during the 2012 Olympics, finishing his run despite suffering a broken bone in his leg at the 200-meter mark. He still managed to clock a time of 46.1 seconds, which landed Team USA in the finals where they finished second behind the Bahamas. He said most people wonder how he was able to finish that lap on a broken leg. "I put aside all the fears, all the pain, and just made it through," he shared. "When you show fear, that's when you show weakness. I just happened to make it through and I know God had a lot to do with that. I give him all the credit."
