A second faster than her 400 a couple months back. Y'all think she'll qualify for trials next year? Thank you and I'll take your answer off the air.

  • I'll go out on a limb and say she makes the team. Since the time she set records, there is so much more information about training and nutrition than there was at the time she set the records. Plus, according to top exercise physiologists, there are unique things about her body (can't remember exactly) that enabled her to set those world records. A freak of nature with modern training? A good bet as any! Fort, don't you think getting back in shape to swim a world class 400 free is much harder than a world class 50 free? So much more yardage is involved. Ten years ago, I tried getting back into 200 fly shape and just had to quit. It was too hard. I found getting in shape to swim a decent 50 fly to be much easier.
