MICHIGAN State swimmer John Munley (Kalamazoo, Mich.) died Monday, April 30, after collapsing during a morning jog near the MSU campus. He was 22.<\/p>\n<p>According to the East Lansing Police Department, the incident occurred at approximately 11:30 a.m. in the 300 block of North Harrison Ave. Paramedics attempted to resuscitate Munley and immediately transported him to Sparrow Hospital in Lansing. He was pronounced dead shortly after noon. The cause of death is unknown at this time.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Our thoughts and prayers are with the Munley family,&quot; said Athletics Director Clarence Underwood. &quot;This is a tragedy for the entire Spartan family. As we grieve, we remember a student-athlete who did more than set<br \/>\nMSU records. He represented his alma mater with pride and class.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Munley, a four-year letterwinner, was named the school\u2019s Most Valuable Men\u2019s Swimmer in 1999 and 2000. He qualified for the NCAA Championships in the 200, 500 and 1650 freestyles in 2001. The holder of MSU\u2019s school record in the 200 free, Munley posted four top-five finishes at the Big Ten Championships during his career and qualified for the 2000 U.S. Olympic Trials in the 200 free. He was also a first alternate on the 1998 team that represented the U.S. at the World University Games.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;John was pretty well known and very well liked by a number of people in the swimming community,&quot; said MSU swimming and diving coach Jim Lutz. &quot;The swimming and diving program, the athletic department and the university have lost an individual who was going to be a tremendous asset and a great ambassador for Michigan State University.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;It\u2019s never easy to try and put into words the effect this has on a team. It hits these kids so hard because college kids think they\u2019re invincible. Their eyes are opened and it\u2019s a harsh way to learn a lesson.  &quot;His qualifying for the NCAA Championships in his last race was the epitome \u2013 he got to fulfill a lifelong dream. It was great to see him accomplish a lot of things but there\u2019s so much more he\u2019ll never get to see. His whole life was setting up so nicely,&quot; said coach Lutz.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<br \/>\nCheck out our featured Product !!!<\/p>\n<p><a href=http:\/\/swiminfo.com\/swimshop\/shop_detail.asp?iPid=502&#038;iCatId=502\n\tView Corrective Goggles and Zoomer Fins <\/a>  <\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<br \/>\nCheck out our featured Product !!!<\/p>\n<p><a href=http:\/\/swiminfo.com\/swimshop\/shop_detail.asp?iPid=254&#038;iCatId=4\n\tSPLASH!
