For those interested in Olympic Swimming... otherwise disregard.
In the 400 IM, today:
UoKentucky swimmer Levi Sandidge finished 9th, just missing the Finals. Great kid, when I knew him. From Richardson, I believe he has set the UoK 400IM Record (and 1650 SCY). Great family. We used to car pool with them.
I also know the swimmer who finished 65, as well. More his dad, than the kid.
Johnston was a DNS. He swam the 400Fr yesterday finishing 3rd in the Finals. He'll likely swim the 800Fr tomorrow and I suspect was a healthy scratch today to focus on the 800Fr. That and the 1500Fr are likely his 2 best bets. He took a Red Shirt this year to focus on swimming and I believe he may have focused on Fr and not included Fly in his training.
Tomorrow in the 800Fr LCM:
Heat 3.4 Trey Dickey - A&M Swimmer from Richardson. I believe he is looking at Open Water Qualifying, as well.
Heat 3.6 Gio Linscheer - UofFlorida Swimmer from Richardson. Great kid. He was named after his uncle. His father and uncle were both swimmers for UoF and both Olympians.
Heat 6.8 Levi Sandidge - See above.
Heat 7.5 David Johnston - Sip who swam for RACE
