Tyler McGill
Earning a
gold medal at the London Games in
the 4x100 Medley Relay, McGill also holds a silver medal from the
2010 Pan Pacific Championships and a bronze from the 2011 World
Championships. Currently training for the World Championships and
2016 Rio Games, McGill is focused on living a healthy and balanced
life.
"In order to have a successful career, you have to live a
healthy lifestyle," McGill said. "For me, that means being able to
balance my time between my family, training and most importantly my
nutrition. Thankfully, USANA has helped keep me feeling my best and
perform the way I want to in the pool."
Karina Bryant
Bryant, a
four-time Summer Games participant,
captured bronze in London, holds
21 World and European medals and was honored with the 2012 Surrey
Sports Personality Of The Year award this past December. With more
than 16 years of experience, the 33-year-old trains full time and
is now focusing on going for gold in Rio.
"My goal was to take gold in London and end my career on a high-note, but
gaining bronze has given me enough confidence to train for Rio,"
Bryant said. "I may be older than my competition, but with the
experience I have and USANA's supplements aiding my overall health,
I think I can take gold."
Crystal Manning
As a
four-time NCAA All-American, Manning continues to dominate the
track, recently taking first at the Mt. Sac Relays and Pasadena
Games with marks of 13.85 meters and 13.42 meters, respectively.
The triple jumper is currently ranked No. 2 in the United States on the indoor track and No.
3 outside.
"I didn't like they way my health was going, so I changed it,"
said Manning. "My main goal this year is to stay healthy and I know
that using USANA's products will help me reach my health
goals."
