100m IM prelims

The 100m IM, the event I am most looking forward to, is next. Prelims are tonight at Midnight CST and semi-finals are tomorrow morning.

Ryan is in Heat 2/11 in Lane 3. Tyler Clary is in Heat 3/11 in Lane 2. For some unknown reason both were entered without any times, and thus they are swimming in the early heats. This may be the first time Tyler has swum the 100 IM. Ryan swam it at the 2008 Short Course Worlds and used to hold the world record (Peter Mankoc beat it in December 2009).

Here are some videos of Ryan breaking the world record in the 100m IM in 2008. It's such a fast event and it's so rarely swum that I'm really looking forward to seeing it again.
