Way to go Jeff! :cheerleader: Thanks for sharing, That Guy. I am reading Jeff's book right now which I am really enjoying. Meeting him at Mesa Nationals and watching his races was terrific and I am hoping for the best for Jeff at Olympic Trials.
Hey, Jeff, if you see this, sorry it took so long for me to get to your book! It took this long to get through all of the other books I had on my list before I started yours. :blush: Good luck at Trials! I hope it is a wonderful experience for you!

6 Hermann, Gracielle 20 BRA 25.12
7 Torres, Dara G 44 SOFL-FG 25.16 :applaud:
She seems to be focusing solely on the 50. In the most recent list of OT qualifiers, she was only listed in the 50, and in this meet she is only in the 50. Surprising that she hasn't qualified in the 100 to try for a relay spot :dunno:

Rowdy Gaines questioned this strategy, as well, of Dara putting all of her eggs in one basket.
Off the subject, but I noticed that Cullen Jones will only be swimming the 50 at Nationals. Goooo Cullen! :cheerleader:

***Say What?
Some observations from the IGP psych sheets:
Women's 400 looks like a good race.
Phelps and Peng go at each other in the 100 fly again.
Lochte is swimming the 100 fly.
The Women's 400 IM is a rematch of the NCAA final, plus Coventry.
There are two 30+ yos in the top 11 of the mens' 400 IM.
We get to see Coventry and Franklin go head-to-head in the 200 back.
The men's 100 breaststroke has the top 7 seeded within 0.69s.
Another Lochte-Phelps race in the 200 IM.
Possibly surprising:
Phelps is NOT swimming the 200 free.
Franklin IS swimming the 50 free.
Psych sheet is up!
Look who's in the 400 IM. :)
I thought Phelps gave that up. Maybe Bowman is punishing him for something.
What's with the 3:48 seed time (with an asterisk) for Carlos Almeida? What does the asterisk mean? I saw it next to a number of entries.
