Larsen Jensen is congratulated by teammate Michael Phelps after Jensen received his silver medal in the 1,500-meter freestyle at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens.
Jensen was only 18 when he competed in 2004 Olympics. “Being a little bit older I was able to comprehend a little bit better the meaning of the Olympics (in 2008) and how it relates to the American people and the sense of pride they get from their athletes that are over there competing for the country.� Jensen grew up watching the Olympics on TV and dreaming of one day competing in the games. But it wasn’t until late in high school when he started posting times competitive with the top national marks that he thought the dream might be realized. “At that point, it became much more of a reality so I was able to focus in on it,� Jensen said. “I suppose like any job or career or any dream you have in your life, when you can almost taste it is when that determination really kicks in to the next level.� Jensen, a University of Southern California graduate, set a new American record in the 400 free (3:43.23) during 2008 U.S. Olympic Trials. Later at the 2008 Games, he competed in front of Presidents George H. Bush and George H. W. Bush. Afterward, he metthem both. Jensen credits the support he received from his hometown for helping him do well during his time at the Olympics.
