Cornell University Athletics

At Cornell
With raw speed, Stepanian has contributed to the team over his three years here in the 50 free, 100 fly and relays. He is always someone to count on at the end of the season at Championships. As a sopohmore, he broke 50 seconds for the first time in his 100 fly at the Ivy League Championships and he carried that momentum into last season as well. Stepanian will be doing an internship for the 2012 fall semester, but looks to join the team for the second part of the year..
