It was kind of stunning to see Maggie MacNeil a full body length behind at one point. I really wish they could swim the 50 again. Maggie earned it but I don’t think that would be the outcome in a series of races. Gretchen was jolted into greater sense of urgency for the remainder of the meet.
douglass’ 45.86 from ACCs!
