Since we all all being sappy and breaking out the hankies, I will admit her reaction with her hubby after the race was touching. Naturally, I was given the eat s**t look by my wife because I am not quite the husband that Nathan appears to be, THANKS! The comments from NBC on this gave me a chuckle. In a meet where everyone else got out and hugged their coach, it was nice to see the family get some love.

Congratulations! :applaud: She looks beautiful swimming. (Beautiful in the interviews, too....) I looked at some vids from past years. She makes it look effortless! VB

Our family is so proud of you Megan! Being from Tacoma, we have followed Megan for years and she has always been close to our heart. After my daughter took Megan's swim camp last summer, we gained an even greater respect for the two of you. My husband and I were up in the mountains hiking so we missed the 100-*** final. As soon we got to civilization I had to grab a paper for the results. I think I screamed in the gas station after reading it! The two of you are still in our families prayers as this week continues. Celebrate and enjoy! And swim really fast!

Awesome Nathan! You looked like such a proud husband and I thought her line that both of you made the team was so awesome and truly heartfelt. Couldn't be happier for y'all. CHEERS!

As soon as they said your name...I figured that it had to be Nathan from the forums. Congratulations to you both. It was a very exciting race.

That was incredible, Nathan. I was so focused on Tara Kirk--who looked to be comfortably in second--that I couldn't believe Megan snuck in there! What a finish! edit: big night for Sean Hutchison and King, too, with Hoelzer second in the backstroke. Also Ariana Kukors had a great swim in the 200 IM semis.

This was one of the best races in the Trials, in my view, Nathan. When the camera showed Megan at the end, she was CLEARLY the happiest swimmer at the Trials yesterday. During the semis (and from swimming breaststroke myself) I had thought that Jessica Hardy might have strained one of her leg muscles. She went out so hard but seemed to pull up sharply in the last 50. I was thinking, going into the finals, that it might be anyone's race.

Naturally, I was given the eat s**t look by my wife because I am not quite the husband that Nathan appears to be, THANKS! How does it work with the team members and expenses? I assume the USOC, or some group, funds the entire trip for them. What about spouses/family? The reason I ask is that I know some parents of a kid who made the team and they are paying $1K USD/night for a room in Beijing for them. This hotel normally runs $100 USD/night. That was a very exciting race.

Megan and Nathan, Congratulations!!! All of us here wish you the very best of luck. No matter what happens in a few weeks, we will still be just as proud. You are a great example of what a person can do, when there is no given up on yourself! John

Congrats to Megan (and you)! What a swim! That 100 made me so nervous and I wasn't even swimming it. ;) I bet she can relax now that she made the team and enjoy the 2-***. Good luck to you both and enjoy every second of it. Have a blast in Beijing... you know we will want a full report. Go USA!
