SINK. 400 is very likely. 800 is probable. But 1500 is hard.
SWIM. Because I will have a long life.
SINK. 2 will be impressive enough for me.
SWIM. She’s the heavy favorite in 50 and 100 fly. I don’t see her winning the 100 free. The only question mark is 50 free. She’s yet to go sub-24 but I’m optimistic and think she’s going to drop time.
yall are onto something — big gretchs 50 back pb is a 27 mid from 2023. considering her drops since then i can see her at a 27 low which gets her a spot on the team (maybe) and has podium potential internationally (also maybe).
Love these!
