Connor Jaeger Swims to Another Win

Fair Haven's hometown Olympian hero has done it again — this time with the NCAA.

Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School graduate and University of Michigan  undergraduate Connor Jaeger has won two events in the NCAA Swim Championships, making him the college national champion in the 500 and 1,650-yard freestyle swim categories, his father, Eric Jaeger said.

"The added bonus is Michigan is just about to win the championship," Eric Jaeger said. The school win, after Connor's Saturday 1,650 win on Saturday, made it a coup for the University of Michigan Wolverines' first win in the NCAA swimming and diving category since 1995.

"So stoked! We are living the dream," Connor said on Twitter Saturday. "We did it as a team in the name of the university that has given us so much. We are humbled to have been given this opportunity."

Word is out and congratulations are flowing to the Jaeger family, replete with the sign on the Fair Haven Firehouse boasting Connor's latest championship win.

It was Thursday that he won the 500-yard freestyle in the NCAA men's swimming and diving championships, putting the Wolverines in the lead right away, according to a report in The Star Ledger.

He came in first with a time of four minutes, 10.84 seconds.

On Saturday, Connor won the 1,650-yard freestyle, finishing in 14 minutes, 27.18 seconds.

According to The Detroit News, "Michigan finished with 480 points. Two-time defending champion California was second at 406.5, and Arizona was third with 313.5."

The champ swimmer told the Ledger that on Thursday that he and his coach's strategy was to "relax" in the first 100 yards then push for the speed.
