Hao, who was hired as the varsity football coach at Castle on Wednesday, fixes nuclear submarines. Or more accurately, he oversees more than 300 workers who repair the US Navy’s supreme vessels. Hao, himself, is built for the task at Castle, where Nelson Maeda engineered a […]

He also won the 100 breaststroke that year with a time of 57.72 and defended his title the next year with a 59.98 effort. He was the first swimmer inducted into the Hall of Honor, […]
