JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO - RANDOLPH, Texas --  Two Air Force officers qualified for primary and alternate positions on the U.S. Olympic team for the 2012 Summer Games in London July 27.

Capt. Seth Kelsey, 310th Force Support Squadron supply officer from Buckley Air Force Base, Colo., is competing in individual men's epee fencing and Capt. Justin Dumais, 157th Fighter Squadron F-16 pilot from McEntire Joint National Guard Base, S.C., is an alternate competitor in the men's three-meter synchronized diving event.

Kelsey is a two-time Olympic fencer and competed in the 2004 and 2008 Summer Olympic Games. Dumais represented the U.S. at the 2004 Olympic Games and took sixth place in the men's three-meter synchronized spring board competition.

Kelsey and Dumais are a part of the Air Force World Class Athlete Program that is a two-year program providing regular Air Force, National Guard and Reserve Air Force personnel the opportunity to train and compete at national and international sports competitions with the ultimate goal of selection to the United States Olympic team. The WCAP targets athletes who achieve world class status in their sport.
