Olympics 2012: Amy LePeilbet, US Women's Soccer

This is the first of numerous profiles of the athletes competing in the 2012 Olympics. One of our first athletes profiled is Amy LePeilbet of the United States women's national soccer team.

LePeilbet was born in Spokane and was the 4th original pick in the inaugural WPS Draft. LePeilbet's roots from Arizona stem from college, where LePeilbet attended Arizona State from 2000 to 2003 and made All Pac-10 his final three seasons. LePeilbet has appeared 70 times on the US National team since 2004, but this is her first Olympics, as she missed the 2008 team after suffering a knee injury.

Here's a more official profile on LePeilbet from NBC Olympics.
