Swimming Accomplishments: Known to his beloved teammates as Dewey, Lange (the younger) swam the first half of the last-season like an incapacitated water buffalo. It's funny 'cuz it's true. Taper proved to be the perfect remedy though, swimming life best times in events to be named later. In high school 'lil Lange won some stuff, and hasn't won so much stuff in college, but looks forward to a very productive season.

Personal: Born 6/11/82 to Bob and Lauren, Dewey stumbled through the first years of his academic career, being held back at the tender age of three in jr-kindergarten because he couldn't manage to stack the blocks correctly and had, "a problem with sharing." Things looked bleak for Lange's intellectual pursuits. It wasn't until his junior year of high school that Dewey really began to take an interest in his academic work, when the renowned Brother Beckstrom, Lange's AP US History teacher, showed Dewey "the way." Mastering the art of reverse psychology, with time Lange began to hear the odd pairing of the phrases "Get out of here!" and, "Where do you think you're going? Get back in here!" on an almost daily basis. Other pairings included the well known, "Lange, this isn't nap time."-"Just put your head down and go back to sleep." duo and "What are your thoughts, David?" typically followed by, "Do you ever think before you speak?" Lange now hopes to broaden his understanding of the human mind while fine-tuning his knowledge of psychology as a History of Science and Medicine major. It's funny 'cuz it's true.
