So many sports. So many teams. So many athletes. So many who seem to fall through the cracks. So who is the best collegiate athlete in all Central Jersey? Harvey Yavener's answer may surprise you. Then again, perhaps it won't.
Princeton's Karen Smyers ('83) is not a member of the Ironman or Triathlete Hall of Fames (yet). But that didn't stop the former swimming champion from joining the inaugural class of the USA Triathlon Hall of Fame.
He was the nation's most celebrated athlete before he enrolled at Yale, which meant national championships, Olympic medals and world records were among the expectations. And Don Schollander lived up to every one of them.
The sport of swimming and a caring coach gave a troubled kid a focus that led all the way to two Olympic gold medals. Then Nelson Diebel walked away from his meteoric career to settle into an academic routine at Princeton.
On Thursday, Alicia Aemisegger of Princeton will be competing in her first Ivy League championship and all indications are that she'll be in contention for titles for years to come.
When she left Yale, she left the swimming pool behind. That's because Marcia Cleveland found the open water and has become a prolific marathon swimmer.
