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 think there is more than enough evidence despite not being purely scientific that sprinting is easier to maintain speed at a later age than distance swimming. (This may actually not be the case w/running for some reason) Just take a look at the top swimmers ages/event and all the comebacks etc. What are the odds that it is all coincidence? Possible, but unlikely.
