Bill Darnton

William Thomas Darnton (born June 16, 1940) is an American former competition swimmer who represented the United States at the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome, Italy.

[1] Darnton swam for the gold medal-winning U.S. team in the qualifying heats of the men's 4×200-meter freestyle relay.

[1][2] He did not receive a medal, however, because under the Olympic swimming rules in effect in 1960, only relay swimmers who competed in the event final were medal-eligible.

He was a member of the Tau Beta Pi academic honorary and a two-time winner of the Fielding H. Yost Award for Michigan's Outstanding Student-Athlete.

He received an MBA from the University of California, Berkeley, was a Managing Partner at Andersen Consulting (now Accenture) and President of the Chicago Athletic Association.
