May 2004 Senior Swimmer In the Fast Lane
Bill Johnston has no pity for the competition. Over the course of the last U.S. Masters Swimming season, the 1947 graduate of the Business School competed in 17 different national swimming events and placed first to seventh for his age group, which is 85-89. Johnston also finished first in the 2003 National Postal Championship 3,000-meter competition, but he seems proudest of setting a record in the 50-meter freestyle against the "kids" in the 80-84 age group a fortnight before his 85th birthday last June. A longtime member of the Walnut Creek Masters Swim Club, Johnston, now a retired Aptos resident, hopes to swim a relay this summer with two younger generations of his family. He relies on his companion, Esmeralda Sue, to lug around his swimming awards. Caption: At 85, Bill Johnston, MBA '47, is still winning swim awards and relying on Esmeralda Sue, his companion some might call a dummy, to display them. |
