I find it kind of remarkable that a top-notch men\'s volleyball player would come out of Texas.  Men\'s volleyball just doesn\'t get much press around here--the tall kids end up in football or basketball.  Another niche sport St. Mark\'s has is rowing.  Not many of the rowers are tall enough, it seems to me, to make it at top rowing schools.

Less remarkable is the hip disease research :p  

(Well, his dad did help him land the research position...and that\'s pretty much half of the battle with such projects.)
