Little Known Black History Fact: Lia Neal and Simone Manuel
History was made over the weekend when Stanford
University women’s swimming teammates Simone
Manuel (left) and Lia Neal (right) were named to the U.S.
Women’s Olympic swim team. It is the first time two
African-American women have represented Team USA in
the swim competition for the Summer Games.
Neal, 21, and Manuel, 19, are no strangers to making
history. Last year, the pair were two of the top three
finishers in the 2015 NCAA Women’s Swimming Championships. The third, Natalie
Hinds, is also African-American.
Neal, a native of Brooklyn, N.Y., appeared in the 2012 Summer Olympics in London
for Team USA. She and the 4 X 100 Meter relay team
took home the bronze medal during that year’s games.
Manuel, a Houston, Texas native, will be making her
first appearance in the Olympics and has added the 50
Meter Freestyle event to the list of events she’ll enter.
The pair will also swim together in the 4 X 100 Meter
relay.
