In swimming, it’s not uncommon to see races decided by one-hundredth of a second. The slightest alteration in focus or motion can cause a dream to fall by the poolside.

This is why rare victories are treasured — all the competitors know the importance of finishing every detail of the race until the absolute last nanosecond, but only one swimmer can win.

A swimmer must prepare for these final nanoseconds, where everything is to be decided.

For former Michigan men’s swimmer David Moore (2011-14), hard work and preparation — both in and out of the pool — paid off in the most exciting way yet.

Moore was selected Nov. 22 as one of the 32 students for the American Rhodes Scholar Class of 2015.

Moore now finds himself in an exclusive club of Wolverines, becoming the 27th student from the University to receive the Rhodes Scholarship, and just the third student-athlete to receive the honor.
