SCORING & MONEY LISTS

- Scoring and money lists after Indy stop
In my opinion Katie Meili 2 breast and Chase Kalisz 2 Fly were two best swims of the meet
Because you are too much used to Katie Ledecky’s greatness. That’s unfair! 🙂
4.01 and 8.15 were world records not a long time ago and are number 1 times in the world this year.
KL, Adrian, Kalisz, Meili and Manuel looked great in Mesa. DeLoof fast too.
