GOLD and SILVER MEDALIST RYAN LOCHTE
The Port Orange community welcomed home Ryan Lochte with a grand celebration on August 28, 2004. Wearing his Gold and Silver medals from the Athens, Greece Olympic Summer games, Ryan greeted a crowd of over 2,000 people with a smile. Congrats to you, Ryan, and your family for the achievement of a lifetime! Best wishes as you train for the 2008 games.
The following are photos of Ryan and his family at the celebration.
