  • I received this from UGA swimming and diving yesterday. I'm so happy for Kara Lynn!!...... Former Lady Bulldog Kara Lynn Joyce has been named to the U.S. Olympic team after USA Swimming announced Monday that Dara Torres will not swim the 100m individual event in Beijing. Kara Lynn finished seventh in the 100m free with a 55.02, posting her fastest time of the meet (54.66) in the prelims. So, she's made a quick turn-around in her travel arrangements to join the U.S. training camp in Palo Alto, Calif. "Kara Lynn is very excited despite the logistics, and she's thrilled to be on the team," said Jack Bauerle, head coach of the U.S. women's squad. "We feel it's best for Dara to focus on the 50 and the relays, so that presented an opening. Kara Lynn is the right person for the job. This is not only a great opportunity for her, but we feel that she's capable of swimming pretty darn fast. This decision is in the best interest of our team." With the appointment, Kara Lynn will be making her second trip to the Olympics. In 2004, she earned a pair of silver medals in the 4x100m free relay (American record) and 4x100m medley relay. She also placed fifth in the 50m and 100m free events.
