Last night, Rod Decker used Senator Killpack in a piece about car insurance rates. However, he called him Darwin Killpack. Multiple times. Luckily, Senator Sheldon Killpack has a sense of humor.

I have an uncle with the name Darwin Killpack. After doing a quick google search I found that he'd been inducted last year into the U of U's Crimson Club Hall of Fame, so he may be well enough know that it was a simple error. He's a copy and paste from the Alumni site:

Darwin Killpack

Killpack learned to swim simply by trial and error while growing up in Montana. But when Utah coach Don Reddish watched him compete at an AAU meet, Reddish was so impressed that he invited Killpack to join the Ute team on the spot. Little did he know that he had recruited an eventual All-American.

As a sophomore, Killpack placed seventh in the 1,500 meters in the NCAA Championships. His junior year, Killpack won three individual conference championships in record time, winning the 200 and 400 yard freestyle events, and the 1,500 meter freestyle. In the NCAA’ s, Killpack earned All-America honors by placing fifth in the 1,500 meters and sixth in the 200 yard freestyle. Killpack defended his conference title in those same three events as a senior, setting the conference records once again.

After helping Reddish as an assistant coach for two years at Utah, Killpack became the head swimming coach at Cyprus High School. His high school coaching success was legendary. In 26 years, Killpack’s teams won 12 boys’ state titles and three girls’ crowns. He also directed 10 boys teams and two girls teams to state water polo championships. He also coached five All-Americans in swimming.
