Just an update, Big 12 championchips were this weekend. Crocker went a 19.18 in the 50 and (yawn) a 44.72 in the 100 fly. IF he tapered he would have been the first man to swim a 50 in less than 19. Probably would have gone a 43 in the 100 fly. I was disappointed because he can only swim 4 relays and terefore elected to lay off the 800 free relay. He will be swimming the 100 free tomorrow.
The American Record in the 200 meter medley relay is 1:34.66 and that was done by Texas at the NCAA meet in 2000. The World Record is 1:34.46 by Germany in December 2003. The American Record in the 400 meter medley relay is 3:29.00 and the World Record is 3:28.12 by Australia in Septmber 2002.
The USA team with those three plus Jason Lezak went 3:31.54 at the Worlds in Barcelona for a World Record and that was Long Course. So it looks like the the old records might be broken.
