Monash people at the Games

Among the millennium's Olympic hopefuls are several Monash graduates, students and staff.

Road cyclist Ms Anna Wilson, a graduate with science and law degrees from Monash, is being touted as Australia's best chance at a gold medal for individual cycling at the Sydney Games.
