Here's a good story by the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel's Gary D'Amato on Garrett Weber-Gale, arguably the most notable swimmer to come out of Wisconsin's high schools.

Weber-Gale swam for Nicolet High School, and still holds state Div. 1 records in the 100 free (43.49) and back (49.73). He went on to swim at the University of Texas following his high school career. He swam a leg on the United States' famous winning 400-meter free relay at the 2008 Beijing Olympics that featured Michael Phelps; the photo of Weber-Gale and Phelps celebrating the come-from-behind victory is one of the more famous swimming photos of recent history.
Note to all aspiring swimmers out there -- Weber-Gale swam on "C" relays while a freshman at Nicolet.

Neil Walker wasn't half bad.Look it up.
i swam with garrett through-out highschool and when I started was on the same team, and if he was swimming on 'C' relays it was because he was out of shape, he started when younger @ Schroeder and was a good swimmer then from what I remember, quit, and then came back right at highschool
