Ryan swam in two events today, and the results from the morning prelims are as follows:
50y Free
1st - Lochte, Ryan S 24 DAYTONA BEACH SWIMMING - 20.19
100y Back
1st - Lochte, Ryan S 24 DAYTONA BEACH SWIMMING - 47.65
Tonight Tyler Clary swims in the finals of the 200y back at the Big 10 champs. His time in today's prelims was 1:42.45, which is almost 5 seconds off of Ryan's NCAA record and put him in the 2nd seed. I don't think he'll break another NCAA record tonight, but I do think he'll win.
It's disappointing that there are not many news articles about Tyler breaking Ryan's NCAA record in the 400IM. And no interviews, at least that I could find. Maybe there will be something on the Big 10 channel in the future. Tyler's record is huge and should be reported, but swimming just doesn't get the media coverage it deserves. Maybe he'll get some recognition if he breaks Michael Phelps' American record at the NCAA champs.
Tyler is quickly becoming my 2nd favorite swimmer. I can't wait to see how much he can push Ryan next summer. Tyler is bad ass, as shown in this video from floswimming.com:
