Brother John Konrads, 16, got into the act, too, set a new world mark of 2 min. 2.2 sec. for the 200-meter freestyle, now holds every freestyle record from 200 meters to 1,650 yds. ¶ Boston University Freshman John Thomas, 17, watched tensely as the high-jump bar was set, missed his first two tries, then...
