NY Times article about Kenyon

www.nytimes.com/.../25swim.html Coach Jim Steen's dynasty at Kenyon - good read.
  • Has anyone from Kenyon placed well at Olympic Trials or made a Worlds/Olympic Team. Just wondering. Jim Born (mid-80s) won gold @ PanAms 1987. He was also in the lead at 75 of his NCAAs 100 free (I think his junior year) when he MISSED THE WALL on his 3rd turn - still ended up 4th. Oops. There may be others who have done well internationally, but his name is the first that comes to mind.

    I happen to LOVE and appreciate great teams and their coaches who win using ALL the members. Swimmers like this flow out into the world and make it a better place. We see them later in life, still enjoying the water - in masters swim clubs. Not to say Olympians and Trials Qualifiers don't do this as well. Swimmers are gods and goddesses to some of us. Except for a few of the evil ones - and I'm not talking about breaststrokers. I love my swimmer friends and even swimmer non-friends. Can't say I've really met an evil one. Couse I may be biased.
