Mission Hills’ Bollier makes it to world championship swim heat in Dubai

Pembroke Hill graduate and Mission Hills native Bobby Bollier, who is currently a junior at Stanford University, made it to the final heat of the 200 meter butterfly competition at the 2010 FINA Short Course World Swimming Championships in Dubai last week.

Bollier swam a personal best 1:53.26 in the preliminaries. The 1:53.61 he swam in the final heat tied him for seventh place overall. The gold medal went to South Africa’s Chad Le Clos, who came in with a time of 1:51.56.

Bollier is the son of state representative Barbara Bollier, who won her first general election this November.
