Statesman Interview: Jack Conger
Here is a good, candid interview of PVS’s own Jack Conger (Flower Valley, Good Counsel High School) by the Austin American-Statesman following the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
Conger, of course, won a gold medal as part of the United States’ 800-meter freestyle relay team, and is a Junior at the University of Texas at Austin, which he helped lead to a national championship at the 2016 NCAA Division I Men’s Swimming & Diving Championships.
“I signed my agreement with USA Swimming and the USOC that declared my sanctions. ”
Did Conger get sanctions from USA Swimming and USOC? Any details?
The United States Olympic Committee (USOC) and USA Swimming have announced the official punishments for four Olympic swimmers involved in an incident at a gas station bathroom in Brazil.
The USOC’s press release confirms yesterday’s report that Ryan Lochte would serve a 10-month suspension and be rendered ineligible for the 2017 FINA World Championships.
In addition, Jack Conger, Gunnar Bentz and Jimmy Feigen will all serve 4-month suspensions that will keep them out of national team competitions through the end of the calendar year.
