2015 TYR Swim Meet of Champions Fran Crippen Memorial, Day 3 – Results
Great to see Kitajima in the mix, but I thought he had already retired?!!
McLaughlin setting herself up to contend for relay positions next summer, and I can’t wait to see what she can do in Kazan this summer as well.
Great to see Kitajima in the mix, but I thought he had already retired?!!
Mclaughlin seems to have that great 200 free/fly combo and she’s still young too. USA women 4×200 free line up is getting more and more insane.
