I was just looking at the results for the Western Section meet held in Federal Way, WA this weekend and saw a swim that literally made me say "wow!"
Women 100 yard freestyle
1 Franklin, Missy 13 Colorado Stars-C 49.63 48.48*USOP 20
23.48 48.48
The next fastest girl was nearly two seconds back. Thirteen years old, are you kidding me?!!
She also swam a 22.71 to win the 50, and to show she's not a one-trick pony swam under 2:00 in the 200 IM (1:59.59)!

Michigan swimmer Clary breaks Phelps' American record
by Ann Arbor News sports staff Friday March 27, 2009, 11:31 PM
COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS - University of Michigan swimmer Tyler Clary won the NCAA title in the 400-yard individual medley Friday night in 3 minutes, 35.98 seconds.
It was the sophomore's first NCAA title, coming on the heels of Thursday's silver medal in the 200 IM.
The 400 time broke the NCAA record of 3:38.03 he set at the Big Ten meet on Feb. 27, the NCAA Championships record of 3:38.15 set by Olympic gold medalist Ryan Lochte of Florida in 2006 and the American and U.S. Open records of 3:36.26 set by Olympic legend Michael Phelps of Club Wolverine, also in 2006.
Clary was seeded first after a preliminary time of 3:38.16.
2 sec faster that Lochte in 2006, 0.3s faster that Phelps in 2006, 2 sec under the older NCAA record, from a sophomore ???
One Word : Wow :bow:
Next is he going to Rome ?
yes 400y IM is a different race that 400m LC IM bu if I'm not mistaken at the worlds there're 4 slot so he'll have a chance at the trials..
