Hi, I'm Rex Tullius — the subject of this article. I'm flagging a few things the current stub leaves out, with sources, and leaving the editing to you per the COI guidelines. I swam for the University of Florida (2005–09), where I was a five-time All-American and the 2009 SEC champion in the 200-yard backstroke (1:39.88, pool record). I also represented the U.S. national team — silver at the 2009 World University Games, gold in the 4×200 free relay at the 2011 Pan Am Games — before swimming the 200 back for the U.S. Virgin Islands at the 2016 Olympics. Thanks for taking a look.

Hi @Stearmanfairchild44, unfortunately this is all to common for less notable swimmers. I've added this to my todo list and will expand when I get the time (which may not be for a few weeks). IAWW (talk) 09:06, 7 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Support although several sources do use Rexford, they are mostly primary. There are several secondary sources using "Rex", such as and . I haven't been able to find a secondary source using Rexford. IAWW (talk) 09:17, 7 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
