Arizona State showed out at the Eddie Reese Showdown, winning numerous individual events and sweeping the men’s relays. First year head coach Herbie Behm was pleased with his teams performance, noting they also had a handful of new NCAA qualifiers.
How’s MA developing? What is his event schedule looking like for LCM Worlds trials? Anything besides 50s and 100BR?
The best training would be to simulate the NCAA Championships, heats in the morning, finals in the evening for at least three of the four days. None of this preordained bull crap.
I glad that ASU did not fall off with Bowman leaving. and appear to have a very healthy program moving forward. 15 years ago this was a team that was cut. I have no connection to ASU but I love their story and hope it can be an example for ADs around the country.
It usually takes 1-2 years after a good coach leaves to see if the new coach can continue at the same level. It seems pretty clear that Herbie is still doing well because many kids are still swimming well if not best times.
It does seem to show how much he was involved in the teams success last year. Some asst coaches have more to do with a team’s success than others, and it’s pretty clear that he was a big part of their success last year.
Kharun choosing to stay with him when he easily could have gone to Texas was a pretty big vote of confidence
Kharun is a very loyal guy.Unusual in these times.Good for him..I,m old and impressed.
ASU Sun Devil men’s performance in the relays was incredible!
I suspect that the larger story is the total dominance of the Longhorns this season in all of their dual/tri/etc. meets. They are set up very well, I think, for NCAA championships next month.
Man Texas fans are insufferable lol. There has been plenty of Swimswam real estate devoted to the Longhorns and their accomplishments this season that you can go goon to. This is a story about a rookie head coach who is doing a great job with a somewhat awkward hand he was dealt and I’m happy the team is succeeding.
For guys like Kulow it made sense to stay since they were clearly flourishing under Herbie but it took cojones for Kharun to stay when his ceiling is multiple Olympic golds and maybe LCM WRs and his departing coach developed the butterfly GOAT. The butterflies are going to be barnburners at NCAAs.
I hate Texas fans so much
Almost as insufferable as Cal fans tbh
So, to be clear, you hate Cal fans most. Are Texas fans the second most hated group in your eyes? What is your top 5? Asking for a friend.
I’m brave enough to ask for myself. Any Andrew lore is bound to be interesting.
The funny thing is all of the the Andrew comments from a couple years ago praising Texas
