Denniston won the 200 yard breaststroke at the NCAA Championships in 1999 in 1:55.52, but his best time \u2013 a 1:53.48 second-place effort behind Brendan Hansen — was swum in 2002<\/p>\n

On February 6, Denniston was injured in a sledding accident in Wyoming that left him temporarily paralyzed. He currently is undergoing rehabilitation in Carlsbad, California, and has made significant progress. \u201cWhile lying down I can lift my legs now,\u201d he said, adding \u201cI can also lock and unlock my knees.\u201d He has been able to do what many thought impossible by creating new neural pathways.<\/p>\n
Asked when he\u2019ll be walking again, Denniston said: \u201cIn the next few weeks. The therapists have special-ordered a walker for me. They didn\u2019t have one that was tall enough.\u201d<\/p>\n
