Four-year senior Andrew Wilson ‘12 spent two days on campus sharing his Andover journey that included fond memories from JV and varsity swimming, JV lacrosse, water polo, A-House, and Stearns too! Following graduation from Phillips Academy, Andrew matriculated to Emory University in the fall of 2012 where he talked his way onto the Division III swimming program. Eight years later, Andrew earned Olympic Gold in the 4X100 relay in Toyko. Andrew’s journey to that gold medal - the highs and the lows - and most importantly, the lessons learned is what Andrew hopes he will be remembered and inspired by. Thank you, Andrew!
