From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jason Plummer (born March 3, 1969) is a former freestyle swimmer from Australia, who competed at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea. He won the 1500m Freestyle at the 1986 Commonwealth Games, ahead of teammate Michael McKenzie and Canada's Christopher Chalmers.

Plummer attended St Peters Lutheran College in Brisbane, where he graduated in 1986. Plummer is a 1993 graduate of the Stanford University where he acquired his B.A. in psychology. He would go on to earn his M.B.A. from UCLA in 1998. Before heading to college, he was a member of the Australian Swimming Team from 1985 to 1989.

Plummer was recently referred to in a controversy involving long-time Stanford swimming coach Skip Kenney, as Kenney was suspended indefinitely by Stanford on March 9, 2007 after admitting to erasing records of Plummer and four other former Stanford swimmers with whom Kenney had disagreements from the media guide. When asked for comment by the media, Plummer appeared to indicate that he opined that Kenney should be fired.[1]
