I was informed recently that Winona’s own Matt Papenfuss has qualified for the Olympic Trials even before the start of his Senior Season at the University of MN.
Swimming with the MN Aquatics Team at the 2011 USA Nationals, Matt swam a 1:52.83 200 Meter lead-off in the 4x200M Freestyle Relay.
That swim, being a lead-off can be used as a qualifier and was under the Olympic Trials Standard of 1:52.89.
Matt will be swimming his Senior year with the U of MN Golden Gophers this winter an looking to better that seed, but already having the Olympic Trials qualification under your belt is a heck of a way to start the season.
