In undoubtedly the most emotionally-charged finish of the meet, training partners Annie Lazor and Lilly King went 1-2 in the women’s 200 breaststroke to officially punch Lazor’s ticket to Tokyo, with the 26-year-old claiming the win in a time of 2:21.07.
That showing falls just three-tenths shy of Lazor’s best time, set in 2019, and propels her into third in the world this season.
There is an “i” in Lilly but not in team.
But there is an I in win.
Can’t spell team without ME.
Lilly is all about team and it shows with the 200 breast. I wouldn’t pass judgement.
Funny!
I heard the calls of “Annie! Annie! Annie!” from the stands.
Completely off-topic but what happened as in growth as me. Especially a no-show in the 1500? Was he sick is he OK?
what? grothe? spell check sucks.
Grothe had a bad meet.
