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.

  • It is a shot from her 1500 race. The photographer messaged me about that exact thing - how high she rides in the water and her head position on her breath. He said she looked almost like a water polo player :) She was wicked fast with that stroke before and looks like she is sticking with it. You're so right: 1988 Olympic Women's 800m Freestyle final - Janet Evans - YouTube But wouldn't you think with all the changes since 1988 in freestyle technique, she might be faster with better body alignment? But what do I know, for sure. She's amazing.
