Your jealousy shows. Here's where the top group at Nbac sent their TOP senior athletes last year: Harvard, Yale, John's Hopkins, Texas, LSU. The years before that count schools like Columbia, Michigan, Southern Cal, Princeton....the list goes on and on. Next year two members from this very group are going to Stanford! The article could have addressed these facts, sure, but most people involved with Swimming know them. Does the article say that these athletes do NOT do well in school or focus on school? Did you know that many of the members of this top group do not swim in the morning before school, like every other team in Maryland and Virginia? The only groups that go in the morning are home-schooled kids. I know that drives you crazy that kids can be so fast after doing, really, a minimum of practices per week! Why should it?

In today's world especially, this should have been addressed.
