Grant and Ross James will represent the United States at the 2012 London Olympics, marking the 12th consecutive Summer Games to feature University of Wisconsin rowers. The brothers were part of the men?s eight boat that prevailed at the Final Olympic Qualification Regatta on Tuesday in Lucerne, Switzerland, to earn the eighth and final berth in the field. The DeKalb, Ill., natives attended UW from 2005-09 and both walked-on to the men?s rowing team, eventually earning spots on the 2008 national champion varsity eight boat.
