2000 - Dominick Szabo ('00)

A 2000 graduate of North Penn, Dominick Szabo qualified for the 2000 Olympic Trials in the 100 and 200 meter breaststrokes. His state record time in the 200 yard individual medley (1:49.86) was also a qualifying time, but it could not be considered because of the cross-over turn (from backstroke to breaststroke) that high school rules allow. At the trials, out of about 80 swimmers, Dominick finished 21st and 23rd in the 100 and 200 meter breaststrokes with times of 1:04.14 and 2:20.94 respectively.
