Quakers (Try) To Compete In Olympics
In our latest edition of impressive people who go to Penn, we present you with a former Penn swim captain, a current Penn swim captain, and a young woman who holds four University swim records– oh yeah, and they’re also all competing in the Olympic swimming trials this week out in Omaha. Rhoads Worster, a self-proclaimed “really competitive person” (surprising?), Shelby Fortin and Brendan McHugh are all goin’ for the gold in their bid to join a former Quaker who has already secured a spot on the women’s rowing team for the 2012 London Games.
So much for making the exec board of your extracurricular activity the standard of collegiate success! Class of 2016ers, you’re already behind. (Except for you three.)

a quaker grad student will be competing in the olympics, for rowing, as well. i think she won a gold medal in her sport last year at the pan-am games.
If she’s actually going to the olympics she probably has better things to do than talk to Under the Button about how competitive she feels she is… Good for her
