STANFORD, Calif. -- Arantxa King has officially been named to the Bermuda Olympic Team by the International Association of Athletics Federations. King will compete in the long jump at the 2012 Games in London.

King graduated in 2011, but competed this season as a fifth-year senior and graduate student for the Cardinal. She was a first team All-American indoors in the long jump and competed in both the long jump and triple jump at the NCAA Outdoor Championships.

King was also an Olympian in 2008 in Beijing and was once again named to the team of the Caribbean Island nation of about 65,000 people.

King's coach, Edrick Floreal, will already be in London as the coach of the U.S. men's jumpers.
