Way to go Team USA! And, it might be time to update Lisa Bratton’s swimswam bio – last updated in 2015 and says she’s currently a freshman at Texas A&M!
Saw the same thing. To be honest that swim was huge breakout swim. I looked up last few years NCAA and she has been top 8. Even top 4 but to win gold here is awesome. Nice work Lisa keep up the work
Relay WRs . Yes. Well done. But they should with their depth and their population
As compared to China’s population?
the depth is always there but the NCAA system which is pretty unique is the essential key to keep that depth/quality and can never be overlooked / underestimated . This Team is still missing : Manuel, Kalisz , King , Haas , Adrian , Ledecky , Urlando and a few others ….even more depth missing .
