How many guys from other countries does it take to win a National Championship?
Good thing they all attended classes on campus the entire year..... :-)
Makes everyone feel proud to see the American Record holder on the 4th place podium.
Come on now - I think American swimming (particularly Men's) is in pretty good shape to start worrying about a few fast foreigners doing well at the NCAA's. Look at the Olympics this year - the American men had by far the most depth.
I applaud Auburn for looking beyond our own shores to find high quality swimmers. It is up to the individual school (in my opinion) to determine if their scholarships should be going to non-American athletes. Perhaps it serves as a challenge to up and coming young American swimmers to go faster and be more appealing to NCAA coaches and teams out there.
