It's late, I'm tired but a quick rundown here as I watch Olympic hockey.
  • Very workmanlike morning - 15 swims - 15 guys back at night with ten up five down
  • Best times in 29 of 30 races this morning - with at least 16 lifetime bests
  • Wins in 200 Free Relay, 50 Free, 500 Free, 200 IM and 400 Medley Relay
  • 200 Free Relay - #8 in the country right now with - 1:23.44 ties for second-fastest in school history and just 0.06 off of pool record - need to take that down tomorrow
  • 500 Free Relay - FIVE, count 'em FIVE guys back in the top eight - Kyle beats defending champion in 4:39.60 - Alex nearly made it 1-2 but ran out of time; Eric, Adam and Steve round out scoring
  • 200 IM - Some morning miscues cost us more guys in the top eight, but much better at night - five of six guys go faster.  Doug gets his first individual title - a 200 IM that should have been in the Schranck family a year ago.  Jon goes big-time lifetime best and Bob wins consols.  In the AM Kyle goes fastest time of the meet and Pat gets lifetime best.
  • 50 Free - Rip FINALLY gets under 21.0 to lead a 1-2-3 sweep with Ryan (21.30) and Blake (21.65).  Dan Jones goes under 22.0 for the first time
  • 400 Medley Relay - Most exciting relay at CCIW's since 800 free relay in 2004 when Denby split 47-57 to out-touch James Beaman - we put four backstrokers at 53.0 or better - add sub-1:00 splits from Mike and Alex, and 49.7 and 52.2 fly splits from Doug and Ryan.  IWU was out to a big, a huge, a commanding lead but Rip ran him down - Wheaton finished 3rd.
Overall - a 49 point over Wheaton - 6 more than predicted - Carthage 290.5, Wheaton 241.5, Rose Hulman 202, IWU 157.5, Augustana 112, Millikin 66

Women down by 21 to Wheaton - about 50 points better than predicted - Croix is fastest woman in the country - 23.03
