Not sure if anyone is watching, but Florida's Ryan Lochte (Olympic Gold/Silver medalist) has been incredible:
First night;
- 50 back medley relay leadoff = 20.92
- lead off the 800 free relay = 1:33.07
Last night;
- 200 IM = 1:41.76
- 100 back lead off 400 medley relay = 45.19
This morning "floats" a prelim swim in the 400 IM = 3:46.95, finals start in just a little bit so we'll see if he gets Dolans AR of 3:38.18?
Looking forward to seeing him and Phelps go at it next time!

Amazing is an understatement. That backstroke time would have placed him in the A Finals for the 50 freestyle. For that matter, the 100 back would have done the same for the 100 free.
The televised NCAA's is going to be the ultimate sporting event to watch. ...provided you like swimming. :) By the way, does anyone know when they'll be shown ? (I'm assuming ESPN or NBC might cover portions of it.)
Maybe Outdoor Life Network (OLN) will broadcast it. They seem to give more air time to sports like swimming. If only they would tone down the rodeo stuff.
