My favorite 3 swims of nationals - yours?

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.
  • 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!
  • I have to throw in another that I completely blanked on:Cokie Lipinski setting a National record in the 100 *** on her Birthday!:applaud: That was a GREAT swim for Cokie on her birthday... but the record, 1:12.0 belongs to Southern California's Jenny Cook. They have developed a great new breaststroke rivalry. Cokie has the 200 *** National Record.
