I am so happy for both Charlie Houchin and Ariana Kukors. Today both they competed like Champions here at the Olympic Aquatic Center in London. Now they are Olympians and Olympic Finalists. Congratulations!!!

Charlie Houchin will walk away from this Olympic Games with an Olympic GOLD Medal in the 800 Free Relay. What an honor and an amazing accomplishment for all the hard years of training as an age grouper, college swimmer and now pro-swimmer. CONGRATS to Charlie, his family, JP, Ron Turner, Jon Urbanchek, Bob Bowman and my dear friend Sean Hutchinson.

Ariana Kukors swam a good race in the 200 IM and got 5th in what was probably the fastest 200 IM race in textile suits. She gets an Olympic Diploma and her dream of becoming an Olympic.

Thank you Charlie and Ariana for sharing this amazing journey with everyone at Bolles, Coach Michael and me. Personally an experience that I will never forget.

Thank You & CONGRATS!
