Will Heyburn '07 wins swimming award

Will Heyburn '07 has been named a Scholar All-American honorable mention by The College Swimming Coaches Association of America.  To qualify for All-American Scholar honors, Will posted a Division One provisional NCAA qualifying time and achieved a 3.78 GPA his senior year.  This past June, Will received a B.A. degree in government from Harvard University, where he was a member of the varsity swim team all four years.

While attending Kentucky Country Day School in Louisville, Will won two Kentucky state high school swimming championships, swam for the Lakeside Swim Team which won a national team championship, and received High School All-American Swimming and All-Academic honors.  At Harvard, Will achieved All-Ivy honors, swam on a relay which holds the current Harvard record for the 200 Free relay, made five Ivy Championship individual event finals and posted the 6th and 7th fastest times in Harvard swimming history for the 100 Free and 100 Breaststroke respectively.  During those years, Harvard won an Ivy Championship, upset top ranked Princeton in the 2011 dual meet and consistently ranked in the top 25 of Division One swim teams.  This year Harvard also achieved the second highest team GPA of all Division One swim programs.

Will became interested in finance while working during a summer for Chrysalis Ventures, a Louisville based private equity company.  He also worked for Louisville-based Brown-Forman Company and Genscape, Inc., during subsequent summers.  In July, he began work as an analyst in New York City for Moelis & Company, a world-wide investment bank.
