Cal’s sprint duo held up its top two seeds, capping what has been a brilliant night for Cal individually. Ryan Hoffer went 18.63 for his first NCAA title, taking over the sprint crown from the graduated Caeleb Dressel, whose national age group records Hoffer was chasing and sometimes breaking for the past several years.
Pawel Sendyk was second in 18.68. Both were a tick off their morning swims, but still handled the field by more than a tenth.
That’s what I was thinking. He has a similar smile I think. He also has that twinkle in his eye .
Little awkward in front of the camera haha Great swimming though and like what he was trying to articulate
He hasn’t had many interviews like this before (where I’m assuming there’s more than one person/camera asking him questions). I’m sure as he wins more races his interviews will get even better
A fast Jeff Spicoli
It took him a while to figure out his inner awesome. It’s complex.
Gary Hall Jr can relate I’m sure. The rest of us just have an opinion, man.
The way he talks reminds me of Nathan Adrian…coincidence?
Cal as dominant as last year.. Congrats to Hoffer an the program.
in the title pic, that tendon in his forearm pops out so much its looks unhealthy
you may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like
didnt say i dont like it 😉
I got some suspicious moles you could judge too if you don’t mind…
nty, im sure you’ll manage to do that yourself. also, just to clarify i didnt say anything negative, maybe i shoulda used ,crazy’ instead of ,unhealthy’?
