Two Clemson runners, facing stiff competition, said goodbye to the 2012 Olympics in their respective events on Saturday.

"I got a lot of good experience and felt good about my performance," Fraser said. "My competitors are all talented ... you have to give it your best every round. The crowd was crazy. My heart was jumping, and my adrenaline was pumping. It was so exciting."

After qualifying for the semifinals on Friday, Wesh said she had reached her goal for these Olympics. She now plans on coming back and doing more. "It is a great feeling to be only 21 and be here. In four years when I come back to Brazil, I will know exactly what to do," she said.
