Former football player rowing to Athens
Former IU offensive tackle Phil Trinter played at IU from 1988-91, but after graduation his competitive spirit never died. The four-time letterman began sailing at the age of eight and took up racing in 1992. In addition to winning the 1993 Star World Championship and the 2003 Star North American Championship, Trinter won world championships in the 50-foot and Maxi boats. He also was involved in two campaigns for the America's Cup, a worldwide yachting competition that boasts the oldest trophy in international sports and competed in the 1996 and 2000 Olympic Trials. More recently Trinter has been training over the summer in Athens for the upcoming 2004 summer Olympic Games.
