Rising junior Andrew Strait (Henrico, Va.) wrapped up his history-making week at the U.S. Olympic Swimming Trials on Friday morning, swimming 2:11.72 for 114th in the prelims of the 200m individual medley.  It was the best finish of the week for the William and Mary standout, who also swam the 100m and 200m breaststrokes to become the most-experienced Trials swimmer in Tribe history.

Strait, the Colonial Athletic Association's Men's Swimming and Diving Scholar-Athlete of the Year, completed his sophomore season with one of the finest performances ever at the CAA Championships.  Over the course of the three-day meet, he set seven school records and earned two silver medals (in the 400y IM and the 200y breaststroke) and a bronze (on the 200 free relay).  An NCAA-qualifier with 15 victories in 2011-12, Strait was also named to CollegeSwimming.com's Mid-Major All-America team.

The Tribe men's team's tenure at the Olympic Trials is now complete, after Strait's three events and appearances by rising senior Sidney Glass (Mechanicsville, Va.) and incoming freshman Will Manion (Haddonfield, N.J.) in the 100m backstroke.  Tomorrow, Hailey Hewitt '12 will represent the W&M women's program by competing in the 200m backstroke.
