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,
