A huge congratulations is owed to Brian Jacobsen (top photo) from Minnesota! The 37-year old openly gay administrator at the Univ of Minnesota just became the second-oldest male swimmer in history to qualify for the U.S. Olympic Trials. He eclipsed the qualifying standard of 23.49 in the 50-meter freestyle by two-hundredths of a second at last evening’s U.S. Grand Prix Swim Meet in Minneapolis. His time of 23.47 guarantees him a spot to swim at next summer’s U.S. Olympic Trials. He joins Jeff Commings (second photo) – who is also openly gay and also 37 years old (though a couple months younger than Brian) – as two of the three oldest male swimmers EVER to make the U.S. Olympic Trials.
