Why is that Swimmer magazine never mentions 1988 Olympian Kirk Stackle in its coverage of Nationals? His name was again conspicuously absent from the list of Olympians who competed in Mesa. He won both the 100 *** and the 100 IM, by the way. Congratulations, Kirk.
Hi Gull,
Thanks for the heads-up. We do our best to find out who the Olympians are before our nationals meets by scouring the registration files, as we like to acknowledge them in the pre-meet press releases as well as in the meet coverage. Quite a few people who are familiar with our Olympian members go through the list. We regret that Kirk was not flagged. We are currently working on a project that will eventually allow us to cross check them electronically.
