I see there is a new face near the top of the US Swimming for Short Course..... Dagny Knutson out of a North Dakota program. She is as fast as Janet Evans was in the 500 and practically as fast as Natalie Coughlin right now in the 200. Her 100 is as fast a Dara was at her age as well. This is quite impressive. She trounced the fastest boys times at her high school state meet.

I don't remember her placing in the top 16 at Trials this summer. Then again, I am getting old. I don't remember her name even a year ago at US Nationals.

It would be interesting to see her times from this time last year. The times you quote puts her as one of the greatest US female swimmers of all time. How could such talent have failed to make the top 16 last Summer?
She went 1:50.63/4:55.09 Dec 1st of last year as a 15yo. That is some amazing improvement. Holy cow.
Plus she swam the 100/200 Free, 100 back and 200 IM at Trials.
Look out world here comes Dagny!!!!!!
