    Phelps (lane 5) is sandwiched inbetween Cavic (lane 4) and Crocker (lane 6). Both of these guys are going to be out ahead of phelps. Could this be an issue for phelps, swimming behind these two guys in unclean water? Phelps is almost always behind the field at the turn and the water is never clean in a 100FL at this level. Sitting between the other main contenders is exactly where he needs to be. Phelps should win in standard come-from-behind fashion, but if he doesn't get it, it won't be because of lane placement.
