Women's 4x100

I was very pleased with how the team did! The JH matter has been very upsetting and must have hurt the women's team morale not to mention having been somewhat of a distraction. I imagine in the elite swimming world, fellow swimmers are somewhat like family. For some of these younger swimmers like Natalie and Kara Lynn (by younger I mean younger than Dara), I am sure it was very shocking and like losing a family member to have one of your own thrown off the team. To Dara's credit, she has lived life longer, knows the cruel things that life can throw you, and was able to shake it off. She had a fantastic swim as I knew she would. Like her or not, there is no denying that she is an awesome competitor. For all the trauma the team has gone through lately, I think it is awesome that they got silver!
