Dobler was in second place, .14 behind Wenger and .17 ahead of defending champion Sophie Hansson of NC State.

Maurer is a taper master. Just shows people swim too much at end of year. Rest is good
This. The whole idea of taper is just overthinking/worrying about lack of work already done. Literally just give the body rest.
Great job. Terrific resilience. Always hilarious to me how overtrained our athletes are that they come out of a mono taper on top like this.
Rest and mental fortitude
Congratulations! Keep up the great work!
