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?)
I remember Sean Killion distinctly. At the time the top U.S. distance guys were people like Jeff Kostoff, George DiCarlo and Tony Corbisiero. I remember seeing Killion's American record in the 800 free and thinking "who the heck is this guy and what's he doing swimming so fast?" Of course information wasn't quite as readily available back in those days. If I didn't see it in Swimming World I didn't see it :)
