IRISH HEAD COACH TIM WELSH ON BECHER: "Jonathan comes to us as a sprinter and yet appears to have very good all-around skills, so his individual medley events can be solid. He has a great combination of speed and endurance. His range will improve through his freshman season and his career. Able to expand, he will contribute more and more to the success of our program."
