Congratulations, Brendan! You did it and you should be very proud. I can't imagine having a career like yours and still managing to continue with your college education. May you have many more successful years ahead of you.

Yay! Congrats Bren! I know a lot of hard work went into that pretty little diploma there. Good luck with everything you decide to do in the future. I know you'll rock it.

Brendan, you have accomplished something else to be admired for. I never had the courage to finish school and I wasn't even pursuing and achieving Olympic goals and dreams. I know this is not the end of school for you, but what a huge accomplishment.
Congratulations.

Congrats Bren! It's nice to see the diploma. I'm sure you're glad to see it too. :)

Congratulations Brendan! How exciting. Just going to school is tough enough but to do it while being and staying a world class champion is totally on another level..i can only imagine.
Good job and enjoy.

Nice diploma! I bet you are happy to finally hold it in your hands and know that you accomplished another of your goals. The world's your oyster!

I'm not the big expert on the trio, but I believe that Aaron and Ian both are still in school.

By lala, at 2/19/2006 6:14 PM
Way to go, Bren! It's always nice to see your hard work pay off, and I know yours has in many many ways.

Congrats. :)

I must admit, when I saw Bren's diploma, I had the same reaction that Dana did! Congrats Brendan...doesn't it feel good when you finally achieve something you've worked so hard to get?

By Mika, at 2/20/2006 11:18 AM
Brendan, Just wanted you to know that once again you have made us very proud. Despite all the distractions you have had in the past two years you have kept to your goal of graduation. We are sure you are as proud of this accomplishment as you are of all the others you have had in the past. We know it was hard for you but you kept your focus. This focus of yours has made you the success that you are.
Please know that whatever you do in the future we are here for you.
We love you and are proud to be your grandparents.
Gpop & Gmom

I find Brendan's diploma to be humbling and awe-inspiring. To manage the pressures of college on top of world-class swimming, plus maintaining friendships and a close relationship with family - truly, congratulations. (I was reminded of the pressures of school this week when I was with Heather in Denver - she is doing smashingly in graduate school, but all of the papers she writes plus the reading she does, I was reminded why graduation feels like a relief).

Also congratulations to Brendan's parents and grandparents, to whom so much credit is owed - graduation says a lot about the love of an entire family.

Congratulations, Brendan! What a wonderful accomplishment!

Congrats Brendan! We know you've worked so hard and we're all proud of you! Best of luck for the future!

By Janine, at 2/20/2006 7:50 PM
hey everyone
thanks so much for all the congrats. just to let you know I was up in philly watching Megan swim her meet. I have to admit, there is actually a Hansen that can swim backstroke... She had best times in the 100 and 200 Backstroke and her team won the conference championships. I was so proud!
Ian and Aaron are still working on their diplomas and they arent far behind.
we are all gearing up for Short Course everyone looks really fast and we are hoping for big crowds and fast swimming. Have a great week yall i am already tired of this cold weather damn I live texas not anarctica.

By Brendan Hansen, at 2/20/2006 10:43 PM

By lala, at 2/21/2006 1:15 AM
