LWC Swimming alum involved in Olympic Trials

Lindsey Wilson men's swimming alum Alexander Van Winkle was part of the USA Olympic Swimming Trials that took place in Indianapolis, Indiana June 15-23, 2024. He is a 2018 graduate of Lindsey Wilson with a BA in Math and a minor in Recreation, Tourism and Sport Management.

Van Winkle is the Facilities Assistant for the Indiana Convention Center and Lucas Oil Stadium. "My role is overseeing primarily the exterior facilities operations to help ensure that visitors and event holders are welcomed with a clean, safe and beautiful venue every day," Van Winkle said.

"What we care for are typically things most people don't notice unless we aren't doing our jobs, and it looks bad," Van Winkle added. "We know we've done our job in supporting an event if people don't notice anything on their way into the swim trials."
