Former Cavalier Swimmer Fran Crippen Passes Away University of Virginia Athletics Media Relations, Official Release Former Virginia swimmer Fran Crippen passed away Saturday while competing in the 10K World Cup open water race in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates. He was 26 years old. Crippen, a native of Conshohocken, Pa., was an 11-time All-American at Virginia and was named the Atlantic Coast Conference swimmer of the year in 2003 and 2004. He also earned the league's freshman of the year award in 2003 and was the most valuable swimmer of the 2004 ACC Championships. After finishing his Cavalier career, Crippen went on to compete in open water swimming. He earned a bronze medal in the 10K swim at the 2009 World Championships in Rome and collected silver medals in the 10K at both the 2006 and 2010 Pan Pacific Games. In September, Crippen was named the Male Open Water Swimmer of the Year by USA Swimming. In his career, Crippen won six United States national titles - two in the 800 freestyle, two in the 5K and two in the 10K. Crippen's sister, Claire, is currently a fourth-year swimmer at Virginia. Another sister, Teresa, currently swims at Florida. His oldest sister, Maddy, swam at Villanova and was a member of the 2000 U.S. Olympic team and an NCAA Champion. "The University of Virginia swimming and diving family wishes to express our deep love and concern to the Crippen family during this time of tragic loss," said UVa swimming and diving coach Mark Bernardino. "Fran was our son and our brother in life and in sport. His presence, vitality, courage, toughness and endearing persona have left an indelible mark on the lives of all of us who knew and loved him. There was and can only ever be one Fran Crippen. He brightened the world with a heart that was as big as the world. "We will do all we can as a team to share our strength and love with Pat, Pete, Maddy, Claire and Teresa. We thank them for sharing Fran with us and for allowing him to be a beacon of human and athletic greatness in our midst. My family and I love Fran as one of our own and we will cherish him forever."

Issue No. 265 - Oct. 30, 2006 This Week in Recruiting By Chris Horne Game ball This week's Sabremail game ball goes to defensive tackle/offensive lineman Nick Jenkins. The 6-3, 285-pound four-star standout racked up 10 tackles including one tackle-for-loss in Good Counsel's 38-13 win over Paul VI. The win puts Good Counsel at 9-0 heading into its match-up versus DeMatha this week. For the season, Jenkins has tallied 81 tackles, including 10 tackles-for-loss and 8.5 sacks. He has added 10 quarterback hurries and has forced one fumble. Jenkins is being recruited by Virginia as a nose tackle/defensive tackle and, coupled with current true freshman Nate Collins, gives the Hoos a bright future at the position. Jenkins, who chose Virginia over 30 Division 1A offers, is known for his toughness and athleticism. "He's the best tackle I've ever had in all my years of coaching," Good Counsel Head Coach Bob Milloy said. "He's an avid weight-lifter and he works out five days a week. He really wants it. He's a good leader, role model and the whole bit. We're fortunate to have him."
