Great story and Daily article. LSJU had won the 1967 NCAA swim championship so that 1969 dual meet vs. USC was epic for sure.
The Daily article mentions Jeff Hammett, LJSU star sprint freestyler. He later was on faculty in the athletics dept., in charge of deGuerre (now Avery) pool and the instructor for all of the LSJU scuba diving classes, for which I was a TA for several quarters. One day I will channel my inner Jacket3ree and try to type out a Hammett story or two.
