Wheaton College Athletics

Tyler Dobelbower was a seven-time Division III All-American for the Wheaton men's swimming program. He earned All-America on the 200-yard individual medley three times, the highest finish in the event was third at Nationals. He was a three-time All-American in the 200-yard backstroke, placing as high as fifth; and he also earned an All-American nod in the 100-yard backstroke with a sixth-place finish at Nationals. Tyler was an All-American in the 200-yard medley relay and the 400-yard medley relay.
 
At the time of his graduation, he held Wheaton varsity and CCIW open records in the 100-yard and 200-yard backstroke. When he departed the program in 2006, his 200-yard backstroke mark was the third-fastest time in Division III history. He also was part of varsity and CCIW open records in the 200-yard and 400 yards medley relay.  Tyler won the CCIW Championship in the 200-yard individual medley in 2003 and 2005, as well as the conference title in the 100-yard backstroke in 2003.
 
Tyler says of his time swimming for the Thunder, "Wheaton College Athletics taught me a few lessons in success and heartache.  Both of these concepts have allowed me to celebrate victories with my clients and in a small way how life can be disappointing.  In short, I believe that I have learned how to be a compassionate person despite difficult and challenging circumstances."
