i don’t see her going for it but she totally has a shot at making the team in the 100 fly depending on who else swims it

Yeah. Based upon the NCAA results this year its kind of a weak event for the American women. 🤪

haha i mean Curzan was nowhere at her best at NCAAs, MacNeil is Canadian and Huske I’ve already assumed will make the event. I don’t see Douglass swimming this and doing the 200 breast/IM instead but maybe she’ll surprise me

And all those results are in yards. It will be an exciting race in the big pool. I assume Regan will be in the thick of it
