The recent post on David Hasselhoff got me thinking about one hit wonders in Swimming.
Tracy Wickam for 1978's world records in 400 & 800 Free
......4:06 & 8:24 I think....and didn't it take Janet Evans to break these records ?????? Someone may remember this....
Any other one hit wonders ??? (or brief stays at the top?)

Many swimmres are only one-hit-wonders because we don't hear about their college careers or the othe rthings they did. Also, we must remember tht for so many women, swimming wasn't an option after they got out of high school or they went to colleges thta weren't great swimming schools. I'm always surprised by how quickly people are to dismiss female atheletes.
