  • Soni's start was horrible. Almost half body length behind after the breakout?! Is she off the medley relay or is coach's discretion? What a shock, I thought Soni / Hardy was a foregone conclusion. but Breeja did have a stellar 2012 NCAA & now holds the AR Event 11 Women 100 Yard Breaststroke 1 Breeja Larson SO Texas A&M 58.54 57.71$ 20 12.49 27.12 (14.63) 42.06 (14.94) 57.71 (15.65) On who will swim finals on the medley relay in London, it's coaches discretion, the fastest swimmer should swim in finals. July 29th are Womens 1 br prelims & semis July 30th Finals Aug 3rd is womens 4 x 100 Medley London 2012 Swimming Schedule
  • And speaking of upside, just how tall is she? She dwarfed Soni and Soni is about 5' 8". Some very tall winners last night with Larson and Grevers! Franklin too. "Oh what a night" and still much more to come.
  • Fort, you getting close to "great"? :D FORT is a GREAT SDKer
  • And speaking of upside, just how tall is she? She dwarfed Soni and Soni is about 5' 8". Some very tall winners last night with Larson and Grevers! Andrea Kremer (sp?) is herself either very tall or was standing on a box for those interviews. :D
  • And speaking of upside, just how tall is she? She dwarfed Soni and Soni is about 5' 8". Some very tall winners last night with Larson and Grevers! Breeja Larsen is tall. This article says she's nearly 6'1". By the way, her coach Steve Bultman is no stranger to developing fast swimmers. in 1988 his high school swimmers Beth Barr, Andrea Hayes and Daniel Watters made the 1988 Olympic Team. Keep your eyes on AGGIE swimmer Cammille Adams in the 200 fly, she's seeded 1st & swimming very well.
  • Andrea Kremer (sp?) is herself either very tall or was standing on a box for those interviews. :DAndrea Kremer is about 5'2" and she is standing on a box.
  • Andrea Kremer is about 5'2" and she is standing on a box. Yeah, I guess Skip hasn't looked through the latest issue of "Swimmer" yet!
  • 1 free prelims done Phelps did not swim. Will Lochte swim semi's or scratch, if he swims semis and makes finals will he scratch like he did in 2008? I don't think his 49.33 is fast enough and he might need to go 48 mid He doesn't have any other events tonight, but does have, 2 back semis right before the 1 free final which are right before the 2 IM semis. My guess is yes to semis & not to finals. 1 3 ROBISON Scot NSSNC 0.71 23.56 49.08 25.52 2 4 ADRIAN Nathan CALPC 0.67 23.32 49.17 25.85 3 6 GREVERS Matt FORDAZ 0.71 23.65 49.24 25.59 4 5 FEIGEN Jimmy TXLAST 0.68 23.33 49.29 25.96 5 5 LOCHTE Ryan DBSFL 0.67 23.99 49.33 0.25 25.34 6 4 WEBERGALE Garrett TXLAST 0.64 23.77 49.34 0.26 25.57 7 5 BERENS Ricky TROJCA 0.72 24.21 49.35 25.14 8 7 SCHNEIDER Josh MACNC 0.69 22.99 49.37 26.38 9 4 LEZAK Jason ROSECA 0.70 23.70 49.40 25.70 10 2 JONES Cullen MACNC 0.68 23.17 49.41 0.33 26.24 11 2 ERVIN Anthony CALPC 0.68 23.31 49.54 26.23 12 6 BRUNELLI Nick MACNC 0.65 23.74 49.63 25.89 13 3 WALTERS David TROJCA 0.71 23.67 49.64 25.97 14 6 SAVULICH Bobby CWMI 0.68 23.76 49.72 25.96 14 0 ELLIS Matt NTROST 0.72 24.03 49.72 25.69 16 1 COVILLE Alex STANPC 0.66 23.68 49.76 26.08 17 0 MCGILL Tyler NYACMR 0.59 23.96 49.87 25.91 100 Free Prelim Results
  • Will Grevers swim the 2 bk? my guess is no because in Friday's evening session the 2 bk semi is just before the 1 free final and he wouldn't want to risk it, unless he doesn't advance to finals in the 1 free which seems unlikely given his stellar 100 bk speed.

  • Only in Breaststroke:shakeshead:… Who drops 6+ seconds in a 200? 106 - Brendan McHugh Qual time 2:20.02 Prelim 2:13.87 dropping 6.15 seconds! Which may be fast enough to make it back to semi’s. Who knows the highest seed to actually make the US Olympic Team?:dunno:
