Way to go Mel.Best of luck in Australia.
She did make the team. So caption is wrong.
I assumed so, but especially since this report was filed after the Pan Pac Team list I thought it would be a good idea for the staff to correct this error.
Mitch/SwimSwam Staff: The caption under the photo and the report about the 200 IM above both state that Caitlin Leverenz, “…will likely NOT make the Pan Pac Team”. According to the list you published of the US Team for that event, she DID make the team. Which one is correct?
