COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- In conjunction with the College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America's 100th Anniversary, the organization released today its lists of the 100 Greatest Men Swimmers and Divers of the Past 100 Years. Among the honorees were Kenyon College greats James Born, Marc Courtney-Brooks, Andrejs Duda and Dennis Mulvihill.

Nearly 3,000 athletes were nominated, with a panel of current and former college swimmers, coaches and members of the media making selections from a list of 973 finalists. Eighty-six swimmers and 14 divers were selected. They hail from 28 states and 13 countries. Highlights of the selections include 12 members of the International Swimming Hall of Fame and 59 Olympians.
