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.
Mr. Stevenson,
Your thought's on some of the coaching comments and results of the new suit technology that several swimmers used at NCAAs.
The Jagged Edge Of Jaked Results

Everyone gets one..... or no one gets one. Wasn't that the rule last year?
I have never seen or heard of one of these suits, but substitute the word "LZR" and "Jaked" and this is a recycled article from early 2008, right? Many of the exact same phrases were used.
The state of swimming is in flux WRT these types of suits. If it isn't against the rules, what are we supposed to do?
FINA seems to be moving to standardize things and slow the approval process. To the extent that fault should be assigned, I believe the blame lies with FINA. Hopefully things will be cleared up by this time next year.
I also do think there is a tendency right now to assign all credit/blame to suits, regardless of any other factors (including other forms of cheating. Amazing how nobody hears about doping in swimming anymore.)
