He represents Virginia's best chance to win an event this weekend. I felt that he was the type of athlete that had the potential to become an NCAA champion in the near future. But I think it is fair to say that his progress has been very, very accelerated. He has just performed tremendously. Moses' accomplishments are even more impressive considering he only began devoting himself to swimming full time last year.
Swimming is a sport that rewards years and years of hard work.
While he hasn't paid his dues as the typical swimmer has, Ed is an awfully good athlete. I suspect he could have been an outstanding athlete in any sport he chose. Another area athlete, Jamie Grimes, of Olney, and Sherwood High School, will be among five swimmers representing the Cavaliers in Indianapolis. Grimes will swim in the 500 and 1,650 freestyle events. He is seeded 12th in the mile.
