Yes, Richard Korhammer. His time was stunning. We were fortunate to have Leroy Kim for the next year. Both guys were amazing *** strokers.
The most interesting thing about those relays was actually the Osborne factor. Erik Osborne, who was Princeton's 50 freestyler, had his lung collapse during the final weeks of taper leading up to NCAAs in 1989. Rumor had it that getting out of bed was too much for the sprinter. Of course, he claims that it was climbing stairs to class. :)
We were lucky to have Robert Musslewhite take Erik's place. I don't think Robert had ever broken 21 flat start, so we were all a little "white knuckled" watching him being chased down by the big boys.
Being in the outside lane was fun in that the commentators disregarded our chance at winning, both years.
Unfortunately, I have lost my copies of those races.
