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!!!!

his 22.10 50 is magnificent and remarkable. It's the result of who he is and how he trains. He get's it and does what it takes to be remarkable.
One man's miracle is another man's engineering
I really wonder what he will be doing 20 years from now. Can you imagine Rich at 85 going 23.0? Could be.
