He was selected for the Olympic team in 1980, but the U.S. boycotted the games. A 2014 alumni magazine of Virginia Tech, where he was a graduate student in 1980, described his disappointment: "You just spent four years making progress and improvement, and you end up not being able to use it. Between '76 and '80, I think I set seven world records. ... I was ready to compete."{{Cite web|url=https://www.vtmag.vt.edu/sum14/firsts-in-virginia-tech-history.html|title=Firsts in Virginia Tech History {{!}} Virginia Tech Magazine {{!}} Virginia Tech|website=www.vtmag.vt.edu|access-date=May 29, 2019}}
