Very articulate young man.
Here’s hoping he has a great individual 200.

Great swim by Hanson to step up and put the race away. After his first 100 ASU never had a chance. Nice interview.

I wonder if it was the right decision for him to swim in the NCAA, which has so much focus on relays and SCY. In my mind the guy is clearly a 200-400 LCM swimmer.

Worked pretty well for Henveaux, but we’ll see how it plays out into these Olympics

Well, it seems they’re letting Henveaux stay a middle-distance swimmer, they are not making him swim the 4×50 and 4×100 relays. Robin swam 1:46.9 LCM in 2019 and what has he accomplished since then? He’s now a middle-of-the-pack swimmer in both SCY and LCM. If he had focused on LCM he’d be going 1:43 and 3:42 LCM by now.

I know you’re just a troll, but he swam faster than two of ASU’s legs. He wasn’t carried anywhere.
