They talked about it, they dreamed of it.. On the meantime, they made sure to make the best of their given opportunity. They focused on the task at hand, moved to Alamosa, committed to run for Adams State. Since 2013 they strived to be the best with a dream in the back of their  mind, making the #olympic team together. Jurgen and Sunayna are extraordinary students and citizens. From time to time they have  volunteered their time in our @inthearena_team programs in #Alamosa.  The #InTheArena crew in Alamosa will be cheering on Sunayna Wahi and Jurgen Themen at this summer Olympics in Rio as they will proudly represent they country #Suriname. Congrats!  Lo hablaron, lo soñaron. Mientras sucedía se aseguraron de aprovechar toda oportunidad, se enfocaron en las obligaciones de ese momento, se mudaron a Alamosa y comprometieron a correr para Adams State. Desde el 2013, trabajaron para ser mejores estudiantes, atletas y personas siempre con ese sueño en su subconsciente, ir a la Olimpiada juntos. Sunayna y Jurgen son dos  estudiantes y personas extraordinarias. De vez en cuando han servido de manera voluntaria en los programas de #InTheArena aquí en Alamosa. El grupo de In The Arena estará apoyando a Sunayna y Jurgen en las Olimpiadas de este Verano en Río cuando ambos estén representando orgullosamente a su país, Suriname. Felicidades!!!! #makesomethingtodayimpacttomorrow #hazalgohoyimpactamañana
