Saint Michael's College

Jeff was a four-year standout for the Purple Knight swim team in the early years of the program's varsity status.  He was a three-time team captain, and qualified for the New England Intercollegiate Swimming Association Championships all four years.  In 1979, he became the first Purple Knight men's swimmer to ever score points at the New England Championships.  His impact on the SMC swim team can be seen in the dramatic improvement in the program's record.  In his freshman year, the Knights were 3-7, but as a senior, he led his team to a 6-3 mark.  The two winning seasons in his final two years were the first winning records ever posted in the program's varsity history.  At the time of his graduation, Jeff held five SMC swimming records -- and his 400 meter individual medley mark still stands at his induction!  Jeff also ran cross-country in his senior year -- the same year he received the prestigious Roger Keleher Award.
