Go Sticklen go!!
It’s crazy to think that we live in a world where a 1:43.2 200 free only the 4th fastest 15-16 girl ever. Swimming has gotten so fast in the past few years.
Maybe too fast at this level – what happens when bodies change – training changes and they move away from home. If they are this fast now – what is there to reach for…..some on them still have 2 years of high school.
What is there to reach for? 1:42…
What was Luca’s third win?
200 IM, 100 fly, 100 back.
It’s spelled Kamehameha, not Kahemama! I’m referring to Michael Petrides’ swim club located in Hawaii.
Yes Emma! Well deserved!
45.62!
Is the live stream down for anyone else..?
