The High school kids should have went to the state meet since most of the top times in this meet are done by college and post-college.

I’m sure this is just a fun playful practice meet. Simone Manual could go 25.5 at the end of practice. Plus, she is entered in 200 IM, 100 fly, 200 free, 50 free, 100 free. It is Memorial Day weekend and they are just having fun. Enjoy Swimmers!

He won’t be a threat. Simple as that

Was there a timing malfunction? The final times are the same yet Leverenz is given the win.

The first 2 videos are awards ceremonies, not races.

Is Leverenz not sponsored by Arena any more?
She was sporting the new speedo suit in her races
