Senior, an infantry officer from North Fort Myers, Fla., finished sixth in the 2000 Olympics at Sydney, Australia. Hewas leading after three events before a skittish horse refused two jumps in the equestrian event, ruining his imggoldenmoment.

“I don’t think the same thing can happen now; I’m a much stronger rider than I wasin 2000,” said Senior, who returned to the sport after 18 months of soul searching following his heartbreaker in Australia. “I just hope I can have the same day I had in Sydney, aside from the ride. If I have the same fence, I’ll feel pretty good about things.
“What sticks out most about Sydney was what might have been,” he said. “I was just so close to winning, and then to lose it all so quickly. That will haunt me forever.”

Senior won a silver medal in the 2003 Pan American Games and is ranked 7th in the world by the Union Internationale De Pentathlon Moderne (UIPM). He recently finished 13th in the World Championships at Moscow, Russia, where he teamed with Sgt. Scott Christie and three-time Olympian Vakhtang “Vaho” Iagorashvili to win a silver medal in the men’s relay.
