Can I interrupt the flaming momentarily to ask exactly what is 'all american'?
It means you competed as an eligible college student and placed first or second in a given sport. 1st team and second team, respectively.
I was a national champiion, which means I was an all-american, first team. It means that I was first place.
In 1988 I was also pound for for pound the strongest lifter in the nationals, as determined by the "schwartz formula". Oh, this was @ Temple Unitversity, if anyone wants to check.
