Day 4 stats/notes:

  • It’s clear at this point; almost everyone expected more from the top talent at Trials.  At least 89% of entrants had faster predictions than the final times in 10 of 11 spots
  • Only two contestants were “right on” in an event tonight: Amunn in 2nd place of the women’s 200 IM, and em18 on Katie Ledecky’s winning 200 free time
  • Nobody was within 0.2 seconds on ANY of the three 200 fly times.  That’s easily the largest event spread we’ve seen so far.
