I was really pumped to be at nationals and witness some truly great swims. Here's my top 3 - what are yours?
1. Willard Lamb, 87, 50 free: Time of 33.7 followed by a graceful press-up out of the pool.
2. Holden Bank, 50, 50 ***: Time 26.9 (national record). Outside smoke in late 10, took Mark a few seconds to register when he made the call.
3. Tanica Jamison everything. What a meet! 55 in 100 IM was my favorite.
Too many impressive swims across too many age groups to limit it to three.
Agreed, so many great swims, but I like calling out a few that stood out in my mind. 2000 athletes swimming 5-6 events each is 10000+ swims!
Pick any of Rich Abrahams' swims
Suzanne Dills cracking National records in 65-69 age group in 400 IM, 200 free and 200 back on Friday -- the same trio of events that crushed me.
The 200 free race between Rowdy and Bob Bugg
