Do former super star swimmers ever compete in Masters meets like the USMS Long Course Nationals? Matt Biondi, Janet Evans for example.

    OK, here's my take on this. The following is a list of names I've seen in one or more USMS meets (or personally encountered). All are US Olympians: Chris Cavanaugh 1980, 84 Rick Colella 1972, 76 Troy Dalbey 1988 Jeff Farrell 1960 Rowdy Gaines 1980, 84 Dave Gillanders 1960 Gary Hall, Jr. 1996, 2000, 2004 Burwell Jones 1952 Susan Jones-Roy 1968 Ron Kavanaugh 1992 Angel Martino 1992, 1996 Don McKenzie 1968 Jim Montgomery 1976 Bill Mulliken 1960 Anita Nall 1992 Sandy Neilson-Bell 1972 Penny Taylor 1948 Roque Santos 1992 Alan Somers 1960 Jane Swagerty-Hill 1968 Sheila Taormina 1996, 2000, 2004 (Two different sports) Mike Troy 1960 Tom Winters 1960 This is not an all-inclusive list. In fact, there are so many Olympians swimming in USMS meets that, if you are lucky enough to be in the fast heat, there will probably be one next to you!! -- Mel
