I didn’t realize Dylan Carter was so quick in the 100 free; I thought he was strictly a 50 guy like Proud. If only Andrew could get down there in time too…
Impressive Claire Curzan quicker than Kylie Masse in the 100/200 back!
Unrelated but it looks like Rhyan White has moved training locations to NC State.
It’s not like SwimSwam already posted an article on that several weeks ago…oh wait.
I’m gonna give SwimNS the benefit of the doubt and assume they meant that Rhyan is like…actually physically moving to Raleigh this weekend. Margo posted a goodbye Tweet yesterday.
