Goofs off the first 50 of a 100 in the prelims at NCAA D1 Championships; still top qualifier by over a second. That’s domination, homies.

Interesting to hear that she gets beat in practice all the time. Seems to be a trend, as seen with Caleb Dressel, wonder who beats her?

Combined program. So King (56.3/2:03.1) has pro Cody Miller (50.8/1:49.3), Big Ten champ Ian Finnerty (50.7/1:50.7) and Big Ten runner-up Levi Brock (51.4/1:52.7), among others.

This man doesn’t know the history of Indiana swimming. Maybe he can google Doc Councilman and see not only how many NCAA relays IU has won, but also National Championships.

You don’t think he’s referring to the women’s meet? Since he’s at the women’s meet? Because, the women have never won a relay title. In fact, 9 of Indiana’s 10 women’s event titles have come in the Ray Looze era (and the only exception is a diver).

Nah, based on commenting history Tom from Chicago didn’t think. He was in too much of a hurry to prove how much smarter he was than Ray Looze.

It makes me giggle to think someone could spend more than 10 minutes at the IU pool and not be aware of IU swimming history.

Doc *Counsilman,* actually. But I’m sure you were just testing us.

I think Tom was just trolling Ray by misspelling “Counsilman.” Ray obviously knows so little about swimming history, that he probably pronounces “Counsilman” as “Councilman”!
