Carl Robie
Though he would later be known for his prowess in the butterfly, he was diverse in his mastery of strokes, and set a District and Resident AAU record in the 200-yard Individual Medley at the same Senior Open Meet.[6] He led Monsignor Bonner High to its second Catholic Interscholastic Swimming Championship in February 1962 with a 1:53.8 in the 200 freestyle and also won the 200-yard medley.[1] By his Junior year in High School in 1962, Robie attended and competed in swimming for Peekskill Military Academy in Peekskill-on-the-Hudson, New York, where he set a record of 54 seconds in the 100-yard butterfly and swam in winning relays under Coach Christian Sparks.[10] After his Junior year at Peekskill was completed, Robie trained with Hall of Famer George Breen, a 1960 Olympic bronze medalist in the 1500m, who had just been hired by Vespar Boat Club.[3] Skipping his Senior year in High School, Robie swam as a Freshman in 1963 for Coach Gus Stager at the University of Michigan, where he would eventually win two NCAA titles.Adding to the excitement of his first-place finish, his 200-meter butterfly qualifying time at the preliminaries in Mexico City was not exceptional, as he was only the fifth fastest swimmer to be selected for the finals.In 1968, a few American Olympic swimmers may have slightly underperformed due to reactions to Mexican food and the high altitude in Mexico City.
