After winning the 100-yard breastroke and the 200-yard backstroke, he culminated his dominating performance in the 400-yard individual medley, which he finished in 3:57.44, more than 17 seconds ahead of the second-place swimmer, Quaker freshman Ryan Dierberg...

Got rejected at his top three choices, wait-listed at two more. Who gets into Yale these days anyway? Maybe they should have sent him to Mali for the summer to dig wells, fight malaria, give him something to write about in his essay...
