Jordan Wilimovsky's Olympic Dreams

Wilimovsky is our Northwestern Athlete of the Year. He's also a potential Olympian. But even if you stood next to him or talked to him, you'd have no way of telling.

EVANSTON — The best athlete at Northwestern University stands 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighs less than 150 pounds. He keeps his blonde hair long — flowing in front of his face or behind his ears and down his neck — his wardrobe colorful — printed socks sandwiched between brightly colored shorts and shoes — and his demeanor laid back. The California native's favorite adjectives are "awesome" and "huge," two words he'd never use to describe himself.
