In the early 1990s, Nathan Stalker was a state-caliber swimmer for the Morris boys swim team.

He competed at the IHSA State Meet his junior year in both the 50 and 100 freestyle before moving out to California for his senior season.

These days, Stalker is still competitive in the pool, even at 37 years old. Swimming as part of a Masters swim program for adults 18 and over, Stalker practices with high school swimmers out in southern California, trying to get his times back to where they were when he was a prep competitor.
