Some nice swims this morning - highlighted by Andrew (now known as Man-Drew) Willbrant qualifying first in the 100 back with a smoking :50.6. We also had a great swim by Max (I'm Baaaack) Butler finishing 3rd in 51.0. Zack attack Priest placed in the final as well and also qualified in the 100 fly top 8.
The first event of the morning was the 400 IM....freshman Brian Schmidt had a pretty painful 4:05 swim but is in the final along with junior Brad Sloan. Brian hadn't swum an event yet and was a little stiff while Brad didn't feel that good either but we'll warm him up a little differently tonight and he'll be ready to go.
The 100 fly was awesome with both Bromage and Berthaume coming in at 49 plus and seeded 2nd and third. AJ Vozella started to come around by making finals in the 200 and we placed four guys in consols. Next came the backstroke performance then we saw Schmidtty break through with an awesome 57.6 (nothing like a 400 IM for warm up) and a solid 58.0 from John 'I'm not injured any more' Weaver. Pat Kuehne stroked into the consols with a 59.2.
Things look good for tonight as we also put 4 divers into finals of the 3 Meter competition with RJ first, Byron 2nd, and freshmen Adam Duffield and John CLark 4th and 7th respectively. I'm gonna say we have a pretty good diving coach.....the women went 1-2-3 on 1 Meter last night!!!!!!!!!
We're building up some real energy and confidence as we pass the half way point of the meet. More fireworks tonight!
