Righi Closes Memorable Collegiate Career with Yale Graduation
As Swimming World magazine's 2005 National High School Swimmer of the Year, Alex Righi (Phoenix, Ariz./ Brophy College Prep) had his choice of many different schools for continuing his swimming career at the collegiate level. But Righi was looking well beyond the pool when he made the decision to become a Yale Bulldog. Now, four years later -- with his Yale degree and a slew of honors in hand -- Righi looks back on that decision as the perfect choice.
