Name: Ivan Ip
Hometown: Rosemead, Calif.
Sport: Men's Swimming & Diving
Concentration: Business, Entrepreneurship and Organizations and Economics
Accomplishment you are most proud of:
As of right now, the accomplishment that I'm most proud of is getting into Brown. My parents were immigrants and had to work very hard growing up just to make ends meet. They never attended college so it was amazing to see the reactions on their face when I told them I committed to Brown.
The best part of being on your team is:
The best part about being on my team is the team camaraderie. We all want what's best for each other and enjoy each other's company. When one person has a bad practice or bad meet, we're always there to pick them up.
Favorite activity outside of your sport:
My favorite activity outside of my sport is either basketball, playing video games or singing karaoke.
Most memorable game/contest:
My most memorable game/contest has to be my first home meet against MIT during my freshman year. I remember being very nervous and only had a week to practice as I was coming off a minor injury. The first half of my meet on 1 meter wasn't going as well as I hoped, but I turned it up on 3 meter. I nailed my last two dives and when I came out of the water all I heard was my teammates cheers.
