looks like this is the news: Heilman and Williamson commit to UVA

It’s fake
The fact that Kyle Sockwell is posting this from his Buttstroke account (the same one that said Sates was going to Cal) should tell you all you need to know about that graphic.
you got trolled
That’s the consensus as to what the news is (probably along with other commitments to the UVA men’s team) but that Swim Cloud screenshot is fake
Buttstroke Swim is an attempt to mimic the Buttcrack Sports Twitter account, and the news posted there is supposed to be satirical.
Classic Kyle mid knockoff. At least buttcrack is funny. His account just straight tells lies.
I feel played. Like, am I bad at the internet??
can this one go on the podcast feed this time
unless i just gorked the last one but i kept refreshin!!
Isn’t 1:34 like a 1:50 LC?
Yeah but I can’t remember exactly but I think he also did 1:34 back in 2021 before the trials and this time he did it with a negative split in October.
Totally outside the scope of this, but meet mobile for ASU vs NC State has Luca Urlando swimming unattached. Did I miss something or is this new?
Don’t think there was an announcement but social media has shown him at ASU with the pros
He was there this past summer too and when he decided to take another redshirt year, it was assumed he was staying at ASU. No surprise
Yanyan talking about college duals. There aren’t any swim programs that charge admissions for those, and there have been maybe 5 dual meets in the past 5 years with 1,000 people attending
Howard University does.
Why say there is some big Breaking News but don’t say what it is? Just let the news break when it breaks
Bad enough some pinhead says Kylie Masse and Ingrid Wilm look like age groupers but one of your experts repeats it like it wasn’t just an ignorant thing to say.Don,t expect you to apologize but am interested in what your 100 and 200 back time is.
You misunderstood. They’re saying McKeown is so dominant that she makes other elite level swimmers look poor next to her. Don’t think it was intended as an insult at all.
Other elite swimmers is a lot different than looked like an age grouper.Kylie Masse is a silver medalist at the Tokyo olympics.To say she looks like an age grouper because she came 2nd or third at a meet inOctober is clearly an insult, otherwise you would just praise Kylie Mckeown and not comment on the other swimmers.
