He had a disappointing Pac-10 meet. I mean, the Olympic gold medalist should be able to finish higher than ninth in his conference meet.
Kirk:
Peter Vanderkaay did a 4:09.82 last year and has his sights set on that record much like Michael Phelps had his sights on the other Dolan record of 1995 and the 3:38 barrier. Last year he won the event pretty easily but this year it seems to be more competitive especially with the fellow from Georgia swimming well at the SEC Conference Meet. I would not be suprised if it was broken and maybe by two people.
