At the Boys Swim and Dive team awards banquet held earlier this week , Mary Pekel shared great news from Carol Jones about continued swim success Bill and Dan (FHS 2005)at Harvard. This YouTube link shows Bill's 100 Butterfly at the Ivy League meet, which he won, and set Pool and School record. Dan took 5th in the same race. Forward the video to about 4:19 to see this race, and then there's an interview with Bill after the finish! He has also qualified for the Olympic Time Trials in July, and Dan is VERY close, and will try again to qualify.
