What happened to Kevin Griffith from SRV? Seemed like he made a splash last year, but haven't heard anything lately...

I'm in the process of transferring schools. I have decided to pursue a degree in industrial engineering which is not offered at Davis. I.m currently speaking with other schools and will be visiting a few schools over the next few weeks. I will have a decision by end of October and start school in January. For now, just training hard and rooting for my friends and Aggie teammates.
