When I mention I had a swimmer on my podcast who is a 19.04 in the 50 Free, a 42.30 in the 100, and a 45.95 in the 100 back, one might assume he's swimming for one of the blue bloods in the sport, Cal, Texas, NC State? Nope. Lamar Taylor swims Division 2 for Henderson State.
To understand how a guy from the Bahamas ended up at Henderson State and managed to post top-tier times across all of Collegiate Swimming, I invited Henderson State Senior Lamar Taylor on for an episode of the Last One Fast One Podcast.
