Lolo Jones set for Dancing with the Stars
Three-time Olympian Lolo Jones is confirmed for the 19th season of ABC's hit show "Dancing with the Stars." The announcement was made on Thursday morning's Good Morning America. The new season will premieres on September 15.
Jones wrapped up her 2014 season in the middle of July and finished with a season's best of 12.55 at the U.S. Outdoor Track and Field Championships. She finished third in the 100-meter hurdle final.
The bar is set high for Jones as an Olympian and Iowa native. Olympic gold medalist Shawn Johnson won the eighth season of the show and then returned for an all-star loaded cast in season 15 and finished runner-up.
The 32-year-old hurdler will be paired with Keo Motsepe, who has won countless national dance titles in South Africa.
