Local swim sensation, 14 year old Missy Franklin, tore it up at a sectionals meet in Federal Way last night. 47.94 for the 100 free and 1:51.07 for the 200 back. I can't wait to see how she does in the rest of the meet.
Atiba Wade is representing the "old guys" nicely with a first place qualifying time in the 100 *** in prelims today (55.13). He's 32. It doesn't look like he's ever swum masters, though.
For some reason breaststroke seems to be the stroke of choice for the older swimmers at Western Sectionals. In addition to Wade there are 23 and 25 year old men who made the A final, and 23 and 27 year olds in the C final.
