While perusing the heat sheets for next week's Nationals, I saw a familiar name: Claudia Poll, an Olympic gold-medalist from Costa Rica. I'm excited to see her swim.
I got to wondering... how many other Olympians are entered in the meet? Not having grown up swimming I am sure that there are a lot of names I didn't catch. Please add to my list! The meet roster can be found here.
The ones I have found so far are:
Claudia Poll
Rowdy Gaines
Chris Stevenson
Jim Montgomery
