That's a great article.
Here's an NCAA Division III post on Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=5717328284975380&id=194000887308175
Final result for Andrew Wilson -- he was fast enough in the prelims and semifinals to make the top 8 and swim for a medal, but finished tied for 6th overall. A great performance.

Final result for Andrew Miller -- he was fast enough in the prelims and semifinals to make the top 8 and swim for a medal, but finished 7th overall. A great performance.

Corrected above, including getting his last name right. ;D
After his terrific performance in the 100 meter breaststroke, Andrew Wilson barely missed qualifying, by one spot, for the semifinal in the 200 meter breaststroke.
