Maybe I am obtuse, but how can you lower an American record and finish 4th?The Pack finished 4th in the 200 free relay. At the end of the second day, the Pack is in 6th place, 8 points behind Texas and 12 ahead of Tennessee.
State lowered its American record for the event. 1:14.13
Nowhere to go but up.Kyle Ponsler qualified 16th in the 400IM.
That is what I thought must have been the case, but I wasn't sure. Thanks for the answer.The other teams had at least one international swimmer. All the Pack swimmers were US citizens.
Agree it's a tough double but it's common enough that they should consider putting the 100FL before the 400 IM. That way the 100BK swimmers get more rest. Nobody is doing the 400IM with a follow up individual swim later in the evening events.Kacper Stokowski qualified for the A finals in the 100 back in second place. Aiden Hayes qualified for the B finals in 14th place.
That is going to be a tough double for both of them.
I share your disappointment in the 500 results. Dant is a Sr and finished 2nd last year. Looking to see where he stands shouldn’t even enter his mind. It’s his last chance to win an NCAA championship. Give it everything so they have to help you out of the pool.I hope the guys are ready for the 1650. I expect them to be but the 500 was a little disappointing.
Dant and Lloyd should be in the final heat so they can see where they stand.
