Side question: any word on USA Swimming announcing the SCM Worlds roster? The initial announcement said it would be posted Oct 14.

Apparently they haven’t announced the roster because they haven’t confirmed all of the coaches yet.

Seems silly to me but I’m sure that they have their reasons.

You’ve literally posted something about her relay start every time an article is written about her. We got it. Let it go.
