Atlanta Results Thread

There have been lots and lots of amazing swims so far at this competition. I look at the ages of some of these swimmers and the times they are producing- it's just awe inspiring. This relay needs to be recognized: Event 32 Men 18+ 200 Yard Freestyle Relay 2 AMS 'A' 1:25.60 1:20.21N 1) Pascale, Joesph R M26 2) Scheren, Steve A M23 3) Hughey, Richard L M47 4) Hughey, Austin L M19 21.17 42.32 (21.15) 1:02.33 (20.01) 1:20.21 (17.88) It fell through the radar at Swimming World probably because the relay came in second. However, if the times and splits are correct, it's noteworthy beyond breaking the national record. Astonishingly, at 47, Richard Hughey's 20.0 could have easily competed with the best 30-35 years ago. For perspective, Andy Coan won the NCAA D1 50 free with a 20.2 in 1978. And even more remarkable is 19 yr old Austin Healey's 17.88 split- absolutely crushing Cesar Cielo's all time performance of 18.47 from 2008.
