Nort Thornton & Jon Urbanchek

Hall of Fame coach Nort Thornton is hospitalized with a heart issue.  Thornton coached the powerhouse California Golden Bears and numerous Olympic medalists came through his club and college programs in 70's, 80's, 90's, & 00's.

When we do a head-up, high-tempo breaststroke set, it likely had its origins out west in Coach Thornton's program!

Retired Michigan coach Jon Urbanchek - another Hall of Famer with a similar resume - tweeted out his support:

Nort!
We are PULLING for you!
8 x 50 :45 breast  fins &pads chin up. Move it ! Jon

Much of the heart rate work done in our program - and around the world - is based on Coach Urbanchek's "color charts" that simplify things for us less gifted coaches...
