Laci Cseh did swim the 400 IM at the Mare Nostrum meet in Monaco this past weekend. His time was 4:13.39, the 7th fastest time in the world this year according to http://www.swimnews.com/.
Ryan's best time this year was a 4:18.62 at the Santa Clara Grand Prix, also this past weekend.
Cseh has to be the favorite in this event going into the world championships in Rome, particularly if Michael Phelps does not swim it.
I really hope Ryan gives the 400 IM one last try at the international level. A race between Cseh, Ryan and Tyler Clary would be really fun to watch.

Tyler Clary isnt going to work trials, i just read today he is going to the world university games in serbia
Thanks so much for the info Bianca. I had no idea. The University Games should be a really good meet, although I think Tyler could have qualified for Rome in the 400 IM had he elected to compete in the U.S. nationals. He'll probably get to swim a lot more events, which will be a great experience on an international level.
We'll have to keep an eye on the university games... I recognized the names of a few other swimmers on the U.S. team and I'm sure you did too :)

In this interview on www.floswimming.org, which was conducted on May 15, 2009 at the Charlotte Ultraswim, Tyler Clary says it's his goal to make the world championship team and compete at worlds. Sounds like he changed his mind about competing in the university games.
