Welcome once again to Piano Digest, where I break down some 200 fly splits at SCY Nats. 2 years ago forumites showed how it's done, bucking the overall trend of terrible splitting. Last year... well... it was a forumite pianostorm, absolute bloodbath. This year was better though. Barryf once again displayed his rare ability to even- or negative-split the 200 fly. Several other forumites posted good-to-excellent splits. Oz may have carried a piano, but he did win his age group. :applaud: There were several other age group winners across both genders who pushed through some pain for their USMS NATIONAL CHAMPION patch. That leaves us with James, who prefers to swim the 200 fly the way that he does, so who are we to argue? James' teammate Peony Munger (who was recently interviewed by The Morning Swim Show) posted an amazing -6.04 split. She's the anti-James, so it's good that they both swim in the same pool at the same time, keeping the universe in balance. :agree: 1 Munger, Peony 76 HMS 6:22.48 6:05.18 -6.04 1:28.74 3:05.61 (1:36.87) 4:36.81 (1:31.20) 6:05.18 (1:28.37) 5 Fasbender, Barry A 73 STAN 3:28.03 3:26.54 -0.38 47.68 1:43.46 (55.78) 2:39.52 (56.06) 3:26.54 (47.02) 7 Laughlin, Terry 60 ADMS 3:09.30 3:09.28 4.04 43.06 1:32.62 (49.56) 2:20.07 (47.45) 3:09.28 (49.21) 1 Von Der Lippe, Susan 45 CMS 2:07.50 2:10.48 5.24 29.29 1:02.62 (33.33) 1:36.65 (34.03) 2:10.48 (33.83) 3 Stevenson, Chris L 46 VMST 1:57.08 1:57.21 5.31 26.62 55.95 (29.33) 1:26.07 (30.12) 1:57.21 (31.14) 3 Brundage, Patrick W 44 ARIZ 2:01.19 2:01.58 6.04 27.27 57.77 (30.50) 1:27.77 (30.00) 2:01.58 (33.81) 12 Nelson, Kirk 40 PNA 2:06.72 2:12.67 6.11 29.51 1:03.28 (33.77) 1:37.82 (34.54) 2:12.67 (34.85) 1 Clemmons, Jim 61 MAM 2:19.50 2:20.04 6.22 31.37 1:06.91 (35.54) 1:43.22 (36.31) 2:20.04 (36.82) 9 Colburn, Christopher 39 ABM 2:23.17 2:17.68 6.58 31.02 1:05.55 (34.53) 1:41.32 (35.77) 2:17.68 (36.36) 8 Adams, James A 33 HMS 2:04.71 2:07.12 12.74 26.52 57.19 (30.67) 1:30.33 (33.14) 2:07.12 (36.79) 1 Osborne, Oz 65 ELG 3:22.63 3:20.93 14.23 42.94 1:33.35 (50.41) 2:27.30 (53.95) 3:20.93 (53.63)

WOW. Its amazing to see Ed Moses is making a big comeback in the pool. His Time of 53.4 is great for his first meeting since he retired. It look's like he is on his way to olympia 2012...

Great 100 backstrokes by Jeff Commings and Garrett McCaffrey as well. And More Fearing The Upper Left Corner!

I don't think I've ever seen a negative split 100 IM before. Two 82 y.o.'s, separated by a few tenths of a second in a come-from-way-behind victroy. That had to be great to watch.

Way to go Elaine! :cheerleader: 27 Krugman, Elaine 49 GAJA 38.90 42.84

More Fearing The Upper Left Corner! Event 24 Women 60-64 100 Yard Backstroke ================================================================== NATL: N 1:11.36 3/26/2011 DIANN UUSTAL Name Age Team Seed Finals ================================================================== 1 Murphy, Patricia B 60 UNAT 1:10.24 1:08.17N 33.11 1:08.17 (35.06) 2 Davis, Charlotte M 61 PNA 1:12.50 1:09.38N 34.38 1:09.38 (35.00) At this time last year that record was 1:14.73 -- Diann cut three seconds off at 2010 SCY nats, and three more seconds came off this year. A 6.56 second drop in a 100 in under 12 months. Amazing!
