It must be hard for the cats to keep just getting blown out of the water meet after meet.
Truly a heroic performance from Stanford senior Will Macmillion. To be able to win two events at an absolutely unheard of body weight of 269 pounds (at a sikkening 2% body fat) requires an awesome combination of WILL power and caffeine. With determination like that Willy Macmilly and his phreek fizeek will be leading the Cardinal Birds to greatness come March!
Only incorrect thing in this statement is that he won 3 events. Everything else is confirmed true, per sources.
