or
Kate Ledecky, 14 of Curl-Burke, broke 2 13-14 NAG yards records at the
5th Annual National Age Group Team Challenge held at the Germantown Indoor Swim Center Nov 12-13.
She broke a 33-year-old record in the 500 freestyle 4:35.14 held by Sippy Woodhead from 1978 4:39.94
Then she went 9:29.81 in the 1,000 free breaking Michelle Richardson's 9:33.39, from 1984
Katie has OT cuts in the 100, 200, 400 and 800 free & will definitely be one to watch at trials.

Dressel's reaction time was 0.63 in the 50 finals for a "swim time" of 17.00 by contrast his 17.16 relay "swim time" seems a bit pedestrian. Heck I think I can do that in a 25 from a push.
For swimming at the surface, I am curious if peak velocity has already been achieved years back, and how much these drops in time are due to the start, UW’s and turn.

Rob's reaction time tends to hover between 9-10 seconds. If you deduct that from his 50 time, he would be right on Dressel's heals :banana:
Caeleb Dressel :42.80 swim in the 100 Fly is just sick. He won again this time by over 1.5 seconds. When have we seen someone dominate like this in every event.
Townley Haas gets Texas back into the thick of things with a 1:29.50 to get his record back from Blake Pieroni, who earlier when 1:29.63 and these are the only guys to go under 1:30 and next 100 *** and will we see a swimmer go under 50 seconds.
38.9
he will totally eclipse the 39th second
he actually went 17.81 on his relay leadoff...so he had already done it before he did it again...faster!
btw, he is seeded 47th in the 100fly...even though he holds the record i the event....his entry is a slow dual meet time.
wanna bet he wins his heat?
This was stunning. I'm so glad I saw it on live streaming.
My daughter and I had a bet, she said Caleb would go 't break some mythical numerical barrier (although the 50 split of 19.99 did).
Never. See swimswam.com/.../
There were some nice comparisons about the 4.55 % but the one thing that impresses me is that he has a shorter distance to make that % then the other swimmers in the 100 and 200 events. You watch him in the 50 and 100 he just starts pounding the competition right from the beginning and he does it when he anchors relays and he just picks up huge gaps on the field as witnessed today in the 400 Free Relay.
If he wins tonight in the 100 yard free by over 2 seconds, he will have swam a meet in all 3 of his individual events where the field was not even close and these swimmers he is beating are great swimmers in their own right. I was at the NCAA meet last year and he has improved significantly in the last year and if he continues this improvement, who knows are great the results will be. We might never see something like this again or for a long time.
