Jim O'Donnell was the most accomplished swimmer for Westminster in the early 1960s under head coaches William McGinnis and Harold Burry. A 1963 graduate with a degree in history, O'Donnell was a four-year letterman who was voted team captain and the Titans' most valuable swimmer for two seasons.
O'Donnell was untouchable in the 440-yard freestyle as he owned the Penn-Ohio Conference title in the event all four years, including a school record time of 5:01.9 as a senior. He was also the Penn-Ohio champion in the 220-yard freestyle for three years.
A native of Pittsburgh where he attended South Hills High School, O'Donnell is retired and living in Export. He and his wife JoAnn have three children - James III, Mary, and John - and nine grandchildren.
