Doug Northway

Douglas Dale Northway (born April 28, 1955) is an American former swimmer, who represented the United States at two consecutive Olympic Games.

Olympics

 * As a 17-year-old at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, Germany, Northway received a bronze medal for his third-place performance in the men's 1,500-meter freestyle (16:09.25).


 * Four years later at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, Quebec, he swam for the gold medal-winning U.S. team in the preliminary heats of the men's 4×200-meter freestyle relay.

He did not receive a medal for his 1976 relay effort, however, because only relay swimmers who competed in the event final were medal-eligible under the rules then in effect.

Convictions
Plead Guilty to "attempted child molestation" in April 1997, "Doug Northway, 42, was charged in January with two counts of child molestation for allegedly molesting the girl in the summer of 1995. Those charges were dropped after he pleaded guilty in April to attempting to molest the girl, court records show."
