Cullen is a very good swimmer I swam with him when we were younger. Hes always been a very focused young man, was never the type of kid to play around in practice. I just hope he works on his walls when he swims because thats where he lacks…..

Cullen Jones part of a USA Team World Record time in the semi-finals and in the finals is simply amazing. Considered the weak link, he set the stage for an upset of the favored French Team.

I believe Cullen’s part of this historic race will get alot of play in the coming weeks – as it should. But, he was not the first black swimmer to get the gold, nor the second: a man named Nesty was the first, in 1988.

As an NC State Alum, I am very proud of Cullen. He is a great representative for us. I think Anthony Nesty was the first black man to win Gold. He won in Seoul 1988.

Having almost drowned twice myself, and still struggling to learn how to swim, I’m glad there is someone out there helping the kids out.
