Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps was one of many celebrities to play in Wednesday’s Pro-Am at the WM Phoenix Open in Scottsdale. But it’s the two volunteers that were assigned to carry the scoreboard for his group that are the stars of this story.
Phelps is the most successful Olympian of all time– with 28 total medals, 23 of which are gold.
Debbie Meyer Weber and Jane Swagerty both competed in the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City, Mexico. Swagerty took home the bronze medal in the 100-meter backstroke. Weber brought home three gold medals in the 200-, 400-, and 800-meter freestyle races, and became the first woman to win three gold medals in the same Olympic games.
