Men's 100 Back
Ryan Lochte exploded on the third 25 to overtake Minnetonka's David Plummer, this year's long course national champion. Lochte, swimming unattached for Gator Swim Club, posted a time of 46.42 to earn his first win of the weekend. His time fell well short of his 2006 American record of 44.60. Plummer, meanwhile, posted a 46.72, a few hundredths shy of his lifetime best of 46.65. Longhorn's Ricky Berens' streak of wins at this meet came to an end, but he used a strong final length to pull away from the pack and earn third in 47.34.
Men's 50 Free
Tucson Ford's Simon Burnett showed off outstanding speed in the men's splash-and-dash, winning in a fast time of 19.52. Burnett jumped in front early in the race and held off charges from Club Wolverine's Bobby Savulich and superstar Ryan Lochte. Savulich took second in 19.85, edging Lochte's third-place time of 19.94.
Sunday Prelims
Ryan is competing in the following events on Sunday:
Event 25 - 200y IM
Event 27 - 200y back
Event 29 - 100y free
Don't be surprised if one of these events is scratched. Looking forward to seeing the races. Watch live in www.swimnetwork.com. Hopefully they will figure out a way to broadcast both the men's and the women's prelims even if they both take place at the same time in adjoining pools.
