A Valley native will head across the pond to represent the red, white and blue.

Evan Austin of Terre Haute qualified for the USA Paralympic swim team Sunday morning.

The Terre Haute South graduate made quite a showing at the three-day trials this weekend. He collected 13 personal best times, four gold medals and 11 American records.

He's now London-bound to take part in the Paralympic games, which are held a few weeks after the Summer Olympics.

A big congratulations to Evan from all of us here at the WTWO.

Remember you can catch all the action from the London Olympic Games next month, right here on NBC 2.
