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 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.
I predict she goes slower in finals.
Yup. 4:18.11
She faded on the last 100.
Dropped from 4:22.87 to 4:17.27 in 5 months. If she can do that again, she will be 4:11 - high next summer. Cab she do it? Will that make the OT finals?

:applaud: Nice swim, and thanks for the pity ;) TT is all I could strive for anyway.

Getting to 4:11 by June would be VERY aggressive. If any 40-year-old can do it, it's Janet..but even then, I say it takes a sub 4:10 to make the top 8 at Trials this year. It took 4:15 just to make the top 50 US women in 2011.
Ervin, on the other hand...I'd put a modest bet on 2nd in the 50 at trials and an outside shot at a top-6 for the 4x100 relay. He was out quick in that respectable 100 tonight. And is pretty much as fast as in 2000.
