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.
On the one hand, I think USMS has to fight a little bit against the notion that it is only for elite swimmers, especially at a venue like nationals.
The flip-side to this is it could be pretty cool for the novices competing at Nationals to know they are competing in the same pool as some of the all-time greats in the sport.
