If Connor’s plan was to go full “Moneyball” on the field… kudos. Though having Katie Ledecky helps a little too, I guess.

For the first time in 6 YEARS, I went a best time in my 200 Fly. Due to surgeries, mental health, & other personal issues I havenāt had a healthy season since summer of 2013. If youāre frustrated, donāt give up because itās beyond worth it!!!#dreambig @USASwimming @UGASwimDive

Paul Biedermann might have done it too, maybe only with the suit in the 800/1500 tho
am i wrong or why the downvote?
Park
Sun Yang did it as well, Iām not sure about Hackett, but Thorpe also may have done it.
Ous Mellouli did it.
As noted below, Park also did it.
Peter Vanderkay likely did too – haven’t found his 100 though.
Thorpe probably did it at 16
Ders was 20 point back in the day.
Phelps changed everything
Hackett did it with a flying start in the 100, not sure about his time on a flat start though.
I’m sure Dean Farris could do it
Sun Yang did it much better than Zane Grothe, with a little help though š
