Ande:
I think the 500 Free and 200 IM will be a WAR. Everyone in the top 8 is within range to win. My picks tonight are Peter Vanderkaay in the 500 and Ryan Lochet in the 200 IM. However Justin Mortimer and Eric Shanteau could be suprises. Will Tom Dolan's record of 4:08 .75 from 1995 be challenged? If not will someone go under 4:10.00?
I wonder if 1:16.00 will be broken tonight for the relay (4 x19) or 19 seconds for the 50 Free? Will Tom Jager/Anthony Ervin's time of 19.05 be finally broken? Will another Cal swimmer get a sprint record and keep the tradition going. (Biondi, Ervin, ?). I think either Cal or Auburn will break 1:16.00. Great splits from Fred Bousquet (18.66) and Duje Draganja (18.82). I thought that Michael Cavic would be on the relay but that Evan Lane did a 19.26 so they don't lose that much. I look for either of those teams to win but they will only be eligible to get a US Open Record. I slightly favor Cal.
I don't think Texas can win the NCAA and it would be a miracle if they did. From the 2004 NCAA Championship, they lost 239.5 points and had only 134.5 points returning. In contrast to Auburn, they had 230.5 points lost but have 403.5 points returning. Big difference.
