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..

Saw a 14 year boy, Jack Conger, swim a 49.92 in the 100 fly tonight. He broke the PV record (51.3) of Sean Fletcher, who just set the National High School record of 47.0 a few weeks ago. He is apparently after the NAG in the 200 back this weekend, held by Peirsol.

Actually Missy broke Lia Neal's 13-14 100 Free record of :49.47 which she swam at the 2008 SCY Nats in Atlanta last December. And still by quite alot! Lia has the NAG 13-14 50 LCM record at :25.88 done at Jr Pan Pacs in Guam--looks like Missy may have that one also by this summer.

I just looked at the girls NAG records to see how Missy Franklin's 100 free compared. The current 13-14 record is 49.53 by Amanda Weir The current 15-16 record is 48.52 also by Weir. She surpassed both and is still 13. Amazing.

Her teammate, 13 year old Clark Smith, progeny of John, also had a nice meet with a 48.7 100 free, ... One would hope that Missy doesn't let Clark forget that she's faster than he is...

Missy also swam a 4:12 400 IM, a 53.6 100 back and a 1:55.0 200 back. Talk about versatile Her teammate, 13 year old Clark Smith, progeny of John, also had a nice meet with a 48.7 100 free, a 52.8 100 fly, 1:57 200 fly and 4:42 500 free. Nice swimming from the youngsters.

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)! A little gossip for you...thats John (The Goodsmiths) Smiths sons girlfriend. He's 13 as well and just went 1:44 in the 200 free...think he's already 6'4" and most likely going to Texas!! :)

Now matter how excited I get about my times, all I need to do to bring me down a notch is to find some 12 or 13 year old girl who is kicking my butt! WOW, indeed.
