C O L O R A D O S P R IN G S . C O —
The words Olympic Training Center
(O T C ) may conjure up images o f
athletes running, jum ping, throwing
and lifting. There is no question that
the athletes are the main ingredient
o f the Colorado Springs based
sports facility, but they are only part
o f the story.
In addition to a cadre o f full-tim e
employees at the O T C . college stu
dents and recent college graduates
are given the opportunity to work as
interns for periods o f three to six
months.
"These internships provide valu
able learning experience for these
young people, many o f whom are
planning careers in sports," said
Doug Rogers, brand manager,
M iller High Life. M iller has made a
three-year, $3 m illion commitment
to underwrite the operating ex
penses o f the Center.
One o f the interns working at the
Center this year is University o f
Georgia graduate Cecil Thomas
Threat, Jr. Threat w ill be working
in the News Bureau along with three
other interns.
Broun M ayall, director o f the
bureau, said "T hreat will be writing
releases concerning the athletes who
come to the O T C and distributing
those releases to hometown m edia."
Following his graduation from
Auburn (A la .) High School, Threat
joined the U .S . A rm y, where he
served six years in the supply depart
ment. During the period he served in
the A rm y, Threat attended the
University o f H aw aii and the U n i
versity o f M aryland. Following his
discharge in 1978, he attended
Southern Illinois University, Ed
wardsville, III.
Threat graduated from the U n i
versity o f Georgia in Athens, G a.,
last year with a degree in journalism.
M iller's three year commitment to
the Center is one part o f the firm ’s
Olympic involvement. In addition
to support o f the Colorado Springs
and Lake Placid (N .Y .) training
centers, M iller is a co-sponsor of the
National Sports Festival (N S F j and
the 1984 W inter Olympics.
