In his first season as a Florida gator, Jake Mitchell is already making waves. He touched first on Wednesday in the 500 free final, surging to the finish and touching at 4:09.85. This marked the only man in the field under 4:10. Mitchell said this was a goal of his from the beginning of the season (to break 4:10 at SECs) and is happy with his progress throughout the season.
In his new home of Gainesville, Mitchell says the training environment at UF is the best ever. With mid-distance stars (and fellow Olympians) like Kieran Smith, Bobby Finke, and Katie Ledecky to train next to, Mitchell is on pace to have a bounce-back performance at NCAAs after having mono last year.
Is it just me because I’m from Michigan, but does that sound like a slight jab toward UofM?
If you’re looking to be offended you can find offense in everything. If Florida is the #1 training environment, Michigan could be anywhere from #2 to #17,922. #2 would not be much of a jab, 17,922 would be.
Patrick Callan be like: 👀
Why is everyone still trying to create a narrative between them? They both did what’s best for them. I’m sure they’re still friends, let it go.
Florida is known for their yards. More training and not enough recovery can lead to sickness
i wished they asked him about Patrick Callan lol
Not to mention the literal environment too! Florida weather and scenery is way better during this time of year than in Michigan.
