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