The one guy who swam the 4 X 200 meter free relay tonight that won the gold? Peter Vanderkaay? He went to the same high school as I did. In fact, he swam on the same swim team as I did in high school. He was a bit younger than I was, and didn't become the phenome that he is until after I was gone. He had 3 other brothers, all who were swimmers too. I think 2 of them also made their Olympic trial cuts (at least one of them did). Pretty damn cool.
