2008 Missouri Grandprix

Kara Lyn Joyce just served her notice to Dara more to come YEAH BABY!!!!!

That's not much of a "notice" considering that Dara is nearly old enough to be Kara's mother. Additionally, Dara still holds the AR, no?

The 1500 is shaping up to be an incredible race at Beijing! I know it's a stretch, but it sure would be nice if NBC realized this and didn't cut to a commercial in the middle of the race. :rant3:

Hansen won the 100 by almost a 1/2 second but got third in the 2. Is he just focusing less on the 2 *** this year?

I don't think Vendt had ever broken 14:50 before this meet. Good for him! It is interesting that Klete Keller left Wolverine... I'm thinking there must have been a serious personality conflict going on there (either between him and the coach or other swimmers, whatever) because Wolverine does seem to be where the majority of the premier US distance men are training...
