Still needs wins to reach London

MOBILE, AL -- US Olympic Education Center Boxer Jesse Hart is officially on the US Olympic boxing team.

Hart defeated Milwaukee's Luis Arias 21-6 in the championship round of the 165-pound middleweight division at the US Team Trials in Mobile, Alabama.

Unfortunately this doesn't mean Hart gets to punch his ticket to London yet.

Hart, like other US Trials division winners, will still have to qualify in the top 10 at the world championships in Azerbaijan on September 22 to make it to next summer's Olympic Games.
