I pity future USMS women trying to break National Records (assuming Janet gets this swim approved for USMS), but she knocked off one Trials cut this morning in Austin in the 400. Way cool!

I think that was the tough one. That done, the 800 should be in the bag for her.
I don't think they have anywhere near everybody's results up yet for some reason... maybe someone made a mistake inputting the numbers? Who knows.
Just checked- there's 143 people entered in the women's 400 free, but the prelim results only show about 40. Clearly some kind of mistake.The way they structured the meet, I think, is that they swam the fastest 5 heats in the first morning session (at least for the 400) and then, they had a second morning session with the remaining heats. Janet was not in the top 40 / fastest 5 heats, so she swam later. For some reason, the real time results are reporting it.

The meet will be flighted as described in the Meet Announcement. The fastest seven heats of individual events 200M or less and the fastest five individual heats of the 400M events will swum in the “A” flight with the remaining heats swum in the “B” flight. All heats in both flights will be swum fastest to slowest. The “A” flight will be swum first, followed by all relays scheduled to swim in the preliminaries (all but the two fastest heats of men’s and women’s relays), followed by all heats in the “B” flight. The women’s 800M freestyle and the men’s 1500M freestyle will be swum on Sunday, immediately following the completion of the “B” flight, slowest to fastest, alternating men and women.

Actually Dawn Heckman who is now in the 35-39 age group has gone 4:17.52 in 2010 and last year in 2011 went 4:18.63 so yes Janet would actually have some competition in USMS and wouldn't be lapping everyone. Now the trick is Dawn will have to keep swimming this speed the next 5 years.
