2012 OLYMPIC TEAM TRIALS
There were some great swims both in Austin and Santa Clara, but I find myself questioning the wisdom of splitting our best swimmers between two meets in the final runup to trials.
Just playing devil's advocate here, but maybe the big name swimmers don't want to swim head-to-head so close to Trials, so giving them different tune-up venues keeps them happy.
