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.
If only all slacker a** would be denied scholarships over hard workers, college swimming would be so great. But, some swimmers are able to make Jr. or Senior Natls cuts without any hard work and get those scholarships on the basis that the college coach thought that the swimmer worked his/her butt off to get those times. I swam with a boatload of slacker a**es in my age group days. It is really annoying to watch someone get a full ride to a CAA or whatever school and these people are leaving 30 minutes after the start of practice and hanging out at a ice cream parlor for the same amount of time that you did a 8K to 10K workout. It is not fun nor funny.
