I want to get the record straight about my condition at nationals. Yes I did have pneumonia for two weeks coming into the meet, but, it was my choice to come and swim. Allen Stark beat me fair and square in the 100 and 200 *** and deserves all the credit as the national champion. I decided to "step into the ring" ,so to speak, and did my very best. No excuses here and once again congrats to Allen!!! Just being at Nationals and seeing all those great races and good friends was as good as it gets.
