Haha! I like how the "Nike" got cut off from the home screen thumbnail, it adds a little suspense to an otherwise fairly predictable story.  Congrats Andy, it's great to see dreams come true for such a great person!

Going with Nike is all well and good, but let's keep things in perspective Andy. How does it feel to be the fastest miler from Vermont?

WHEATING SIGNS WITH NIKEBy David Monti© 2010 Race Results Weekly, all rights reserved(28-Jul)
-- The 2010 NCAA 800m and 1500m champion Andrew Wheating has signed an
endorsement agreement with Nike, his management firm announced today.  Wheating,
a 2008 Olympian who recently moved up to #4 on the USA all-time list
with his 3:30.90 1500m mark at the Herculis meeting in Monaco last
week, said he will remain in Eugene, Ore., where he attended the
University of Oregon.  He will continue to be coached by Oregon's track
and field chief, Vin Lananna."I can't even explain how excited
I am about staying in Track Town, USA, and about the chance to continue
working with my coach at the same school that supported me as an
undergraduate," Wheating said in a statement released by Global
Athletics & Marketing, the Boston-based athlete management firm
owned by Mark Wetmore.  "Hayward Field has been a special place for
me.  Nike is a great partner in all the cool things happening in Track
Town and I look forward to being part of its team as I continue to
train and develop."Although terms of the agreement were not
disclosed, two athlete managers interviewed by Race Results Weekly
prior to the Prefontaine Classic on July 3, in Eugene said that
Wheating deserved $300,000 to $400,000 per year.  That estimate was
based solely on Wheating's collegiate credentials before he ran
personal bests of 3:51.71 for the mile at Prefontaine, and 1:44.62 for
800m at Meeting Areva in Paris.  The managers who did not want to be
named, said that this was their estimate for his base salary and would
not include income from event organizers or any performance bonuses
from a shoe company sponsor.Wheating is originally from
Norwich, Vt., where he was a soccer player in high school.  He made the
2008 USA Olympic team at 800m while a sophomore at Oregon when the USA
Olympic Trials were held at Hayward Field, Oregon's famed athletics
stadium.  He was clearly pleased to be able to remain in Eugene."I
want to be a contributing member of the Oregon Track Club and chase my
dreams in front of the fans who cheered for me while I was a Duck,"
Wheating concluded.ENDS

Happy he is sticking in Eugene.  Congrats kid!
