INDUCTED 2016

North Penn High School, 1999

Jeremy is honored to be part of the 2016 inducted into the North Penn Alumni Athletic Association Hall of Fame. He was a member of both the highly accomplished Swimming and Water Polo Teams from 1996-1999, lettering in 7 seasons between the two sports. Amazingly, of those seven seasons, four were State Titles and two were State Runner- Ups. During his time on the swim team Jeremy was an instrumental part of the 3 State titles and 1 State runner- up. As a member of the of the Water Polo Team, Jeremy lettered on the State Championship team of 1996 and was the MVP of the State Runner-Up team of 1999.

While swimming at North Penn, Jeremy was a State qualifier all four years in the 200 freestyle, culmi- nating with a PIAA State Individual Title in his marquee event in 1999. He earned State Titles in the 400 Freestyle Relay in 1997 and 1999, and a 200 Freestyle Relay State Title in 1997. Jeremy's career also included two district titles in the 200 free in 1998 and 1999. Jeremy was named team MVP in swimming his senior year and finished his career as a eight time All American.

As a member of the water polo team, despite a 2 year stint as a goalie, Jeremy would eventually move to the Offensive 2 meter position where he would find his way to a 90 goal season his senior year, and hit a sudden death quintuple overtime goal to send the team to the State Championship Game, which despite losing was quite the accomplishment for that team. Jeremy was named team MVP in his senior season for water polo as well and was a 4th Team All American.

After North Penn, Jeremy accepted a Division I scholarship to swim at James Madison University, and despite having three different coaches in the three years that he swam, he was a multi event finalist every year at JMU's conference championships. JMU was the champion of the Colonial Athletic Conference all three of those years and Jeremy earned All-Conference in his freestyle events and relays during that time. Despite choosing not swim for his fourth year of eligibility, Jeremy did lead the JMU men's club water polo club dur- ing that season to its highest ever finish in the Middle Atlantic Water Polo Association with a runner up at the Conference Championships.
