1 second time drop for Mr Jack Dolan in the 200 free.

Next week he will swim at NCSA junior nationals.

Its option two. The kid was killing it in hockey for a while
Amazing he’s already at that level considering he has started swimming very recently.
A gifted athlete.
David Marsh signed him, transferred him to CAL, and he is now eligible for NCAA’s in 2017.
The coach for SwimMac signed someone? How does that work?
Molacek is gonna be yuge for NC state
Andrew? Andrews? Michael Andrew?
