| Emerick Wins USOC Vote |
| National Teams - USA Men |
|
Paul Emerick seems to have crushed all his competitors in a vote for the US Olympic Committee's Athlete of the Month. Emerick was the first male American rugby player to be nominated for the award, based on his performances in the 2011 Rugby World Cup. USA Rugby put out the call to members to vote, and Emerick defeated 12 other deserving athletes by a wide, wide margin. Emerick received 3,487 votes, with wrestler Jordan Burroughs coming a distant second with 1,346. He won 62% of all votes cast. |
