I have known Rich for many years and, in my opinion, his performances in Atlanta were definately the over-all highlight of the meet. He puts alot of pressure on himself, but, also there is a lot of high expectations from his peer group to deal with. He was ready!!! Totally focused and one great swim just piled on to the next. I wonder is Cullen Jones can go 22.1 in the year 2050 or Rowdy 15 years from now!!!!
I salute you my friend,

Yes - Cheers! Rich WAS unbelievable!
I was wondering during the meet if some of the young kids there were watching the times posted by these older age-group masters. I did see some head shaking. But this early in the game, I don't think most even imagine themselves still swimming then.
It takes awhile for that idea to come around for most early 20 something swimmers.
Totally impressed with Charlotte Davis 60-64 as well. Had never seen her swim before and I don't know her... But she put a proud smile on my face every time she touched the wall!
