Michelle Griglione (born c. 1969)[1] is an American former competitive swimmer who won a silver medal in the 400-meter individual medley event at the 1986 World Aquatics Championships in Madrid, Spain.[2] She barely missed Olympic qualifications in 1984, 1988, 1992, and 1996,[3][4] finishing in third-fourth places, but she won five medals at the Pan American Games and Pan Pacific championships in 1985, 1987, 1989 and 1995.[1]

Her father, John, was an All-America football player at Iowa State. She studied at T.C. Williams High School[4] and Stanford University, graduating in 1991. She then obtained a degree in chemical engineering at the University of Florida and for five years did computer simulations at Agere Systems. She is married to Robert Baker; they have a daughter, Penelope (born c. 2003), and live in Orlando.[1]
