Maybe Alex Vanderkaay really is “The Man”

Posted March 17, 2007 at 12:57 am by Suz in Club Wolverine owns us,Doing the right thing,Keepin' It Real

Alex Vanderkaay during the medals ceremony for the 200 Fly at the 2006 Santa Clara InternationalWe told y’all that you need to watch out for the Wolverines, did we not?

Well a Vanderkaay named Alex has stepped up and claimed his first individual NCAA title in winning the 400y IM. He came in to NCAA meet with the fastest time in the nation and with his when, he’s putting the doubters on notice that he is for real. Not only that, but he knocked over 3 seconds off of his lifetime best time in the event. How’s that for making a statement.

We tend to crack Alex jokes from time to time, but make no mistake that we are extremely proud of him! Maybe PVK was right when he told me last year that “Alex is the man” . He would know, wouldn’t he?

We cannot wait to hear from Mama VDK. She was sooo excited last week at AVK’s chances at NC’s. We’re sure she’s literally bouncing off walls!

Anyway, congrats, Alex!

P.S. Is it me or does Alex not sometimes sound just like Pete when he speaks?
