no girl will come close to her at njo's.
and fyi, her having the fastest time for a 16yo is the ONLY time in history it has happened.
but to put it into perspective, her new WR in the 1500 would get herself lapped by the men (yang is just 4 years older). long course.
she has some super amazing times and swims so far. i hope she keeps it up.
the same medal, usually less fame, double the workout and a race that takes 30x longer than the winner of the 50.
ld is a cruel life.
Chris:
Is this kid Townley Haas the same swimmer as Francis Haas or does he have a twin brother? The reason I ask is because a Francis Haas is in the psych sheets for the 1650 Free with a seed time of 15:16.67 and with this swim if he is the same person and with the time in the 500 Free should be able to break a 15:15.17, which would dispute what Steve said and make the 16 year old boy faster than the 16 year old girl. Unless he completely dies, I cannot see him not breaking 15:15.17
