  • sfgate.com/.../article.cgi From the article, I quote: "When school resumed in September, the swimmer says, Kenney did his best to make McLean's life miserable. According to McLean, Kenney told him he had to work out at 4:30 a.m. with masters-class swimmers, instead of with the rest of the team later in the morning. He didn't allow McLean to attend some away meets and, for a time, had McLean train with butterflyers and sprinters rather than the other distance swimmers. 'His senior season basically was a year from hell,'' said McLean's mother, Diane, of Simsbury, Conn. "His training was clearly being altered not to suit his events'." Maybe we have a new Masters' swimmer in the fold! :laugh2: Now, 4:30 AM is a bad time to be awake, much less working out, but Masters swimmers are usually fun to be around. It can't have been good for him not to train with teammates, though. With Kenney suspended from coaching at NCAAs, I'm sure the team will suffer. Again, unfair to the athletes by punishing the coach.:frustrated:
