Minneapolis GP - Ryan's Friday prelim results

Results for all of this morning's prelims can be found here: http://www.usaswimming.org/_Rainbow/Documents/596f9c14-7c90-4ce1-8bd5-689678d0f107/Fri%20Prelims%20A%20Results.pdf

The results are for the A prelims only. Conceivably someone could swim faster in the B prelims and change the finals, but it is not likely.

200m free - Ryan qualified 12th to make the B final of the 200m free. His time was 1:51.37. Ryan must be pretty beat up from training because his training partners - who are all top notch 200 free swimmers - were even slower. Conor Dwyer finished 15th with a 1:51.70. Shaune Frazier was 17th with a 1:52.10. Robert Gomez was 25th with a 1:53.26. Sebastien Rousseau was 30th with a 1:54.26 and Peter Vanderkaay was 38th with a 1:55.49.

100m fly - Ryan qualified 8th to make the A final of the 100m fly. His time was 54.85.

It's disappointing not to make the A final of the 200 free, especially with so many Olympic stars in this event. Nevertheless, Ryan is in hard training now and one thing I've learned over the years is not to expect too much at the early GP meets.
