ANDE
Peter Vanderkaay got the last record that Tom Dolan had when he won 3 events at the 1995 NCAA Meet in Indy. He joins Michael Phelps and Chris Thompson, teamates that he works out with every day at Club Wolverine as the ones who broke the other American and NCAA records from 1995. This sets up some interesting possibilities in his other events. He won again very easily by over 4 seconds.
Ryan Lochte was very impressive in breaking the less that month old record of Michael Phelps with 1:40.55 dropping about 1.2 seconds from his best. Now the 1:40 barrier is in sight and we could see the 200 IM go under like the recent 200 Fly and the 200 Back a couple of years ago.
I was just over at Omega Live timing site checking out this morning's results (total rankings) & noticed several 4 x 50yd splits of 18something. Does anyone know what the fastest split ever would be for this race?
Also noticed something else on the site: all the swimmers are listed as being from AUS...John's ultimate nightmare!
Hey Ande, that 200 free relay is not an American record. Cielo andf Bovell are not Americans.
Watch out for that 100 fly tonight. Wide, wide, wide open.
Arizona will challenge the records in the 800 free relay. With Burnett, Ferns, Ritter and maybe DeBerry, they are going to do some amazing things.
Arizona won the 200 medley relay, in US Open record time -- 1:23.88.
That's faster than Longhorn -- Piersol, Hansen, Crocker and Walker -- went a month ago in Austin.
Spilts: Subirats, Albert 21.47
Rollins, Dave 23.33
Ferns, Lyndon 20.22
Burnett, Simon 18.86
Amazing.
And, Stanford was disqualified for "Downward butterfly kick - ***." I kind of have to laugh at that, because when I swam in college, the Stanford Cardinal was known for dolphin kicks.
So ... did the guy do more than one kick per turn? I think so. Finally, Stanford's dolphin kicks finally get noticed by judges.
Simon Burnett: 1:31.20 200 free
21.28, 23.16, 23.09, 23.67
I'm amazed he held 23s for the last 150, after opening with a 21.2.
Anyway, it's the fastest 200 yard free ever. Michael Phelps is probably quaking.
Converted, that about two-tenths of the 200-meter free world record. Makes me wonder how fast Ian Thorpe could go in a 200-yard free. But I don't think he has great turns, so he probably couldn't outdo Burnett.
1:31.20. I imagine they gave him a very long and well-deserved standing ovation.
That swim is better than Lochte's 1:40.5 200 IM.
Sam, I'm disappointed that you picked Stanford. What kind of Longhorn are you?
Arizona will be winning after day two. They're one point behind after the 100 ***. And Arizona has more points coming in the 100 back, and their diver looks to win the 3-meter, though I'm not sure if they start clean for the finals.
And then there's the 800 free relay. Auburn's not in the top eight there, and Arizona will clean everyone's clock.
But tomorrow will be a closer one than tonight. Auburn and Arizona are hurting in the 200s, but Arizona looks to get more in the top eight than Auburn in those events. Plus, the 100 free is all Arizona. Stanford had a chance but that relay DQ really deflated them.
Boy, do I wish I were there. I'd be conflicted, though. I'd have to cheer on the Longhorns. But for the first time since leaving Austin I live in a town with a great college swim team, and that's been fun all season to experience.
Lochte is on fire, but I'm still most impressed by Vanderkaay breaking the 500 record. Out in 2:02 at the 250!! I might be repeating myself, but averaging faster than 50 seconds per hundred for 500 yards is simply amazing.

Do you think Vanderkaay can beet Chris Thompson's NCAA record in the 1650 at 14:26 something?....That comes to just under 52.49 seconds per hundred for an entire 1650!.....What is Vanderkaay's best 1650 time anyway?....anybody happen know?....I know that Frank Thompson (AKA the human swimming encyclopedia) would know that.
