High School: Ojstersek attended Patrick Henry High School in San Diego, Calif., where he was the team captain and MVP of his swimming team and set a CIF school record in the 500 Free. Aljaz only competed during his senior season because he was an international exchange student with Patrick Henry HS that year. He also finished third place in the Junior European Open Water Swimming Championships to capture the bronze medal in 2006. Personal: Aljaz Ojstersek originally hails from Kranj, Slovenia, and is the son of Marjan and Alenka Ojstersek. For fun, Aljaz enjoys biking and climbing.
