US Open begins today RESULTS

I think that is Klueh's best 100 ever check out how he split it impressive that's the first sub 50 negative split 100 I've ever seen Event 10 Men 100 LC Meter Freestyle 1 Klueh, Michael 21 Longhorn Aquatic 49.83 24.94 24.89 49.83

Wow, what a back half. That's closer to a full second difference once you take out the block start. Whew, that's some swimming.

Descenza won the 200fly in a time that would have gotten her onto the team ... that has to hurt. She gave a very eloquent answer. I hope she sticks around for awhile.

Descenza won the 200fly in a time that would have gotten her onto the team ... that has to hurt. She gave a very eloquent answer. I hope she sticks around for awhile. I saw that too, my heart broke a little for her. However, she is such a pro... I hope that she stays in it for another 4 years as well - she's a great swimmer to look up to.

How about McGregory's 59.11 morning swim?!? Could we see 58 tonight?

How about McGregory's 59.11 morning swim?!? Could we see 58 tonight? I hope she breaks the WR, I really wanted her to do well at Trials. Those two 3rd place finishes (again) must have been unbelievably rough.
