Saw this article today on The Race Club website. Since we have so many Texas Exes (GO HORNS beat SC!) on here, I was wondering what the opinions were on his comments.

At least good for some gripping discussion, Lord knows we need a good "spirited" discussion on here...
Matt, I find your post fascinating. In my opinion, there should be awards for every age grouper that does a "best time" (this mkay necessitate the creation of a database of some sort), and an award given to the swimmer who cut the largest percentage from his/her previous best time. Those kids are champions too.
I have swum countless races in my time, and only on rare occasions can I recall where I finished. But I can recall the time I swam to the hundredth, and whether it was my best time or not.
