  • Looks like the Zeigers may have a chance at the four sibling relay. According to Blake Zeiger's Minnesota bio: Personal: Born May 12, 1993 • majoring in English and art • daughter of Whitney and Peter Zeiger • has four younger siblings: Brooke, Elizabeth, Rebecca, and John www.gophersports.com/.../blake_zeiger_761134.html By the way, it's pretty disappointing that hardly any teams are swimming relays at this meet. I realize it's a World trials meets, but it's also U.S. Nationals and you'd think there would be more relay entries. In the 400 free relay yesterday there were only two teams in the women's event and two in the men's.

  • What happens here -Option 1 - they keep re-swimming until there is a winner. Option 2 - one swimmer relinquishes the spot Option 3 - they have a coin toss for the spot It appears they went with option 2 or 3, since there wasn't another swim-off reported and Davis swam in the B finals and Gornay in the C finals.

  • Masters swimmer and new mom Megan Jendrick finished 3rd in the 50 BR!
  • Masters swimmer and new mom Megan Jendrick finished 3rd in the 50 BR! Nice to see she's still at it!
  • I just returned from watching the 2013 Nationals & World Championship Trials and three 2012/2013 USMS members made the team that will represent Team USA in Barcelona. Eugene Godsoe made the team in winning the 50 and 100 Fly and BJ Johnson was 2nd in the 200 *** and this was the first selection for both swimmers in a meet of this level. They represent the Stanford team. Micah Lawrence swam to a second place in the 200 *** and this was her second selection because she is an Olympian in this same event last year. Besides Megan Jendrick, other past USMS members to make the finals in an event were Adam Mania, Josh Schneider, Nelson Westby, Tim Phillips, Erica Erndl, Cullen Jones, and Anthony Ervin. Madison Kennedy was 9th just missing the finals in the 50 Free.
  • At our Australian Swimming Championships/trials, Linley Frame (41) came 9th in 50 *** and 10th in 100 *** (32.32 and 1:11.31 - new improved W40-44 records).

    Good: Cordes is otherworldly in his technique and is becoming a great LCM swimmer. I think he's going to drop a couple of extremely fast times, particularly in the 200. Really happy to see Eugene Godsoe have the meet of his life at the exact right moment, same for Shannon Vreeland. Maya DiRado was a surprise for me, I knew she was good, but she was almost Franklin-esque out there. Lots of great performances from the young ones. Knowns like Conger and Murphy had solid meets (near misses). There's also a solid crop of up-and-coming teens who made a bunch of A finals: Jacob Pebley, Quinn Carrozza, Gunnar Bentz, Gillian Ryan, Kathleen Baker, Caleb Dressel, Kendyl Stewart, Matt Josa etc... Really excited to see all the first timers get some top-level international experience: Fink, Manuel, Johnson, DiRado (she may have made some other natioal team rosters), Godsoe, Luchsinger, Steel... Maybe next time: It was a relatively slow meet with lots of post-Olympic blues for some big names. Schmitt not making the team is a blow. Lots of other Olympic stars (Grevers, Vollmer etc) looked a bit rusty. Not surprising. Conger, Murphy, Mann all miss making the (pool) team. The good news is that it's only a matter of time for these three. Women's sprinting looks a bit iffy, especially in the 50. Men's and women's relays (especially the 4x200s) are likely not going to be as dominating as has been the case in the past. For the first time in a while, it's possible that the US might miss a major medley gold. Ricky Berens didn't break through as some had expected, good meet but no individual swims.
