Today was the last day of the Florida Sr. Spring Championships and Ryan won both of his events, 100y free & 200y back. Here are his times:
100y free - 44.19 (prelims) & 43.82 (finals)
200y back - 1:43.59 (prelims) & 1:41.87 (finals)
Ryan swam both of these events a little faster last year, 43.73 in the 100 free and 1:41.02 in the 200 back. He's not far off of where he was last year though and I'm hoping that means his injury is healing well.
I'm going to the Austin Grand Prix next Friday night (March 5). It will be the first time I see Olympians and National Team swimmers race in person. Will give a full report here.

Results from Saturday - Florida Sr. Spring Championships
Ryan scratched both finals today, 50 free & 500 free. Hope everything is OK.
In other news, Tyler Clary won the 200 back, 200 IM & 400 IM at the Big 10 championships. His times were good for this part of the season, even without last year's fast suits. According to www.collegeswimming.com, Tyler's times in all 3 events were the fastest so far this season.
I can't wait to see how he does at the NCAA's and at Nationals this summer.

Prelims at Florida Spring Sr. Championships - 50y free & 500y free - Saturday, Feb. 27
Here's how Ryan did in the prelims of the 50y & 500y free today:
50y free - 20.36 (2nd place going into finals)
500y free - 4:29.38 (4th place going into finals)
Looking at the results, this meet is like a duel meet between UF & FSU with some high school swimmers in the mix. Ryan was beat in the prelims by some UF swimmers.
Finals are starting now. Will report results once they are in.

Results from Friday - Florida Sr. Spring Championships
Ryan swam the 200y free and 100y fly yesterday, placing first in both events. Here are the results:
200y free - 1:37.89 (prelims) 1:36.19 (finals)
100y fly - 48.18 (prelims) 47.28 (finals)
I couldn't find Ryan's finals time from last year's 200y free, but in prelims he swam a 1:37.04. At the So. Cal. GP in January 2009 his time was 1:36.27. It seems to me like he's right where he was last year in this event.
Ryan didn't swim the 100y fly in the Florida Sr. Spring Championships last year, but at the So. Cal. GP in January 2009 his time was 46.51. He was racing Matt Grevers at that event, which could account for the faster time.
Up today are the 50y free and 500y free. Hope everything goes well with Ryan's knee in the 500 free.
200y free - 1:37.89 (prelims) 1:36.19 (finals)

Ryan to compete in 2010 Florida Spring Senior Championships - February 25-28, 2010
The Florida Spring Senior Championships are held in Orlando, FL in a 25-yard pool.
The psych sheet can be found here: http://drsm.org/Championship_Meet_Data/SRChamps_PsychSheet2.pdf
Ryan's events are:
Event No. 8 - 200y free - Friday, Feb. 26
Event No. 16 - 100y fly - Friday, Feb. 26
Event No. 26 - 50y free - Saturday, Feb. 27
Event No. 38 - 500y free - Saturday, Feb. 27
Event No. 48 - 100y free - Sunday, Feb. 28
Event No. 60 - 200y back - Sunday, Feb. 28
Another test for Ryan's injured knee. Lots of free, no IMs or breast events. It's good to see a 200y back on the schedule. The 50/500 free combination on Sat. will be interesting.
I remember that Ryan swam at this meet last year. It will be interesting to see how he does this year in comparison given his injury.

Ryan's 100m back time the 4th fastest in the world in 2010
Ryan's time in the 100m back last night - 54.81 - is the 4th fastest time in the world so far in 2010. Nick Thoman's time of 54.40 is the fastest, tied with Hayden Stoeckel of Australia. Camille Lacourt of France has the 3rd fastest time of 54.52.
Info received from www.swimnews.com.
Last year Ryan's best time in the 100 back was 53.95, which he swam at the Speedo South Sectionals in Florida last March.
Ryan's time in the finals of the Missouri Grand Prix last year, in which he placed 1st, was 55.16.
Despite his injury and long time out of the pool, he seems to be in good shape so far this year.

Missouri Grand Prix - Sunday Scratch
Ryan scratched the only event he was entered in today at the Missouri Grand Prix...the 100 free. Hope everything is OK.
Don't know when Ryan is swimming again, but the Florida Spring Senior Championships are scheduled for February 25-28 in Orlando. He swam in this meet last year so maybe he'll enter again this year.

Missouri Grand Prix Prelims - Saturday, Feb. 13
After skipping last night's finals, Ryan swam in this morning's prelims in both the 50 free and 100 back. He qualified for tonight's "A" final in both. Here are the results:
50m free prelims
1 Hayden, Brent 23.04
2 Copeland, William 23.23
3 Kishida, Masayu 23.43
4 Burnett, Simon 23.58
5 Clark, Bennett 23.69
6 Lochte, Ryan 23.71
7 Weber-Gale, Garrett 23.90
8 Cambindo, Juan 23.93
100m back prelims
50m free prelims
1 Hayden, Brent 23.04
2 Copeland, William 23.23
3 Kishida, Masayu 23.43
4 Burnett, Simon 23.58
5 Clark, Bennett 23.69
6 Lochte, Ryan 23.71
7 Weber-Gale, Garrett 23.90
8 Cambindo, Juan 23.93
100m back prelims
1 Thoman, Nicholas 56.43
2 Hawes, Matthew 57.32
2 Schirk, Patrick 57.32
4 Russell, David 57.34
5 Lochte, Ryan S 57.64
6 Konarzewski, J 57.76
7 Pereira, Thiago 57.79
8 Janusaitis, Vyt 58.06
In the 100 back, Ryan really went for it on the first 50. His split was 27.92, which was way faster
than everybody else. Nick Thoman's first 50 was the next fastest at 28.66.
Like yesterday, I wanted to compare Ryan's times in these prelims with last year to see how he is
doing. Last year Ryan didn't swim the 50 free. In the 100 back, he had a 56.39 in the prelims and a
55.16 in the finals. Faster last year but we'll see what happens in tonight's finals.
Finally an article about Ryan's knee injury, with the headline "Lochte busts a move, breaks his knee."
So happy someone from the press finally asked him about his injury.

Ryan scratched Friday's finals
Just heard that Ryan scratched his finals for tonight's Missouri Grand Prix. He did really well in the prelims, so that should give him an indication of where he is at in training. Some people who are at the meet said it looked like he was limping after one of his races. Hopefully he is not injured!
Missouri Grand Prix - Prelim Results 2/12/10
The Missouri Grand Prix started today. Unfortunately Michael Phelps could not make it due to the blizzard on the east coast earlier this week. There are still a lot of Olympians there: Garrett Weber-Gale, Eric Shanteau, Ous Mellouli, Thiago Pereira and Ryan. Also, Nick Thoman from the national team is there.
Ryan swam the prelims for two events this morning, the 200m free and the 100m fly. He placed 4th in the 200m free and tied for 3rd in the 100m fly. Here are the results:
200m free prelims 2/12/10
1 Hayden, Brent 1:51.42
2 Johns, Brian 1:52.23
3 Di Giorgio, Ale 1:52.43
4 Lochte, Ryan 1:52.66
5 Mellouli, Ous 1:52.87
100m fly prelims 2/12/10
1 Kishida, Masayu 54.50
2 Russell, David 54.92
3 Janusaitis, Vyt 55.25
3 Lochte, Ryan 55.25
5 Pereira, Thiago 55.52
Also in the "A" final: Nick Thoman & Bradley Ally.
This is Ryan's first meet since last summer's world championships in Rome. For the sake of comparison, at last year's Missouri Grand Prix Ryan swam a 1:54.19 in the prelims of the 200 free and didn't make the "A" final. He swam a 55.08 in the 100 free and finished 2nd in the final. He seems to be on pace with his training from last year and we all know how well that turned out!
Finals start at 5:30 p.m. CST and can be watched live at www.swimnetwork.com
