Since we have some rivalries going on in other threads already, I was just curious, where'd you go to college? degree? swim?

I swam at Flint Junior College (Michigan) for two years where I was a three-time Junior College All-American (the second year the name changed to Genesee Community College). I won the 100 and 200 yd breaststroke at the 1970 NJCAA national meet as a freshman. My 200 time broke the national meet record. Our 400 yd medley relay also won the nationals and in the process we set the NJCAA national record (broke our own record several times during the year) and the national meet record. I was looking for an adventure so I accepted a scholarship to swim for Eastern New Mexico University. The first meet of the year was close to my 200 PR and I was pumped for a good season. But then I got respiratory infection and couldn’t shake it for the rest of the season. That ended my college swimming career, so I decided it was time to get serious about graduating. I majored in chemistry, minored in math. I have been swimming masters since 1987.
