Jack Mehl and Doug Allen

Douglas James Allen can claim something at Oakland University that only a handful of athletes can ... he was an NCAA Division II Swimmer of the Year (1991). Allen, a four-year letterwinner for OU, was also tabbed the GLIAC Swimmer of the Year in 1990.

In his four-year career, Allen was a 19-time all-American and four-time national champion. He won three individual titles in 1991 in the 200 butterfly and 200 and 400 individual medleys. The Issaquah, Washington native was a two-time NCAA champion in the 200 IM and set school records in the 200 butterfly and the 400 individual medleys. He is third all-time at OU in point scoring at the NCAA Championships.

Allen, a former OU assistant swim coach, graduated from Oakland University with a bachelors degree in communications.

Allen, a Westland resident, owns two companies -- Elite Cleaning Services and Allen Entertainment.
