KD: So, you recently applied to be on MTV’s Real World…what do you think your chances are of getting on?

KO: Ummm….(jokingly) really good because of my personality. People should see me.

KD: What is it about the Real World that makes you want to be a part of it?

KO: It would just be really cool to be on television and to get away for a little bit. Just to be able to put off the ‘real world’ a little longer wouldn’t be so bad either.

KD: You have been quoting the movie Borat a lot lately. What’s your fascination with the film?

KO: It’s hilarious!

KD: What’s your favorite part?

KO: Probably where he tries to kidnap Pamela Anderson or when he is in the RV with the fraternity guys.

KD: What made those parts stand out to you?

KO: Because the people did not even know it was for a movie, so they thought these things were really happening…when in reality it was all a joke. He had to have been arrested so many times.

KD: You have involved yourself in a lot of activities on campus. What has been your motivation in doing so?

KO: I just like to get my name out there, to meet new people, new friends. I like to take charge of things.

KD: How do you feel such involvement will help you in the future?

KO: Hopefully it will help me get a job after I graduate, but more importantly I thought it would teach me the skills necessary to find the right job after graduation.

KD: What is your outlook for senior year, swimming wise?

KO: I am excited for my senior year since it is my last chance to swim at my best. Hopefully I’ll train hard enough over the summer so I can start off the season on a high note.

KD: What do you think will contribute to continued success for Wabash Swimming and diving next year?

KO: Staying dedicated to the program and bringing in another strong freshman class.

KD: How will you contribute to the success yourself?

KO: I hope to be a positive role model for the incoming freshmen and to score a ton of points in the breaststroke events.

KD: If you were to predict results for next season, what would your predictions be for both the team and for yourself?

KO: I think as a team we can definitely go undefeated next year. I also think we’ll score at least 1,100 points at the conference meet. Individually, I just want to see lifetime bests in all of my events and I’ll be happy.
