His Senior-year performance at the Division 1 State Championships at Ohio State University in an 8th place finish and All-State honors.  Choosing to continue his Jesuit education,  Michael attended John Carroll Univeristy. In a sport measured in quarter inches, Michael, in his freshman year, beat the 24-year old school record for the long jump by over a foot.  He qualified for the Division III National Championships 4 times, performing in Los Angeles, Chicago, Iowa and Wisconsin. He was named All-American 3 times in his career. His last collegiate performance, in 2013, resulted in a 2nd place finish at the National Championships, with a jump of nearly 25 feet.
