Olympic Gold Medalist Visits APEX

Olympic Gold Medalist Michael Phelps (center) gives some pointers to members of the Lehman varsity swim teams. Under Coach Peter Kiernan, the men's team has won an unprecedented three CUNYAC titles in a row (2006-7-8). At the Metropolitan Collegiate Conference Championship meet on February 25, senior Darnell James also qualified for the NCAA Championships in the 100-meter butterfly. Phelps, who won six gold medals in the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, was on campus to film a commercial.
