The Minnesota Grand Prix, a short course yards meet, begins today. It's disappointing that Michael Phelps dropped out, but Ryan will be there and he's entered in a lot of events.
Both prelims and finals can be watched on www.swimnetwork.com. Prelims start at 9:00 a.m. Central Time and finals begin at 6:00 p.m. Central Time (Fri-Sat) and 5:00 p.m. Central Time on Sunday.
Here's a preview for today's races:
Event 4 - 100y breast
Event 6 - 100y fly
Breaststroker Mike Alexandrov is also competing in the 100y breast. He is one of the country's best breastrokers and Ryan's former training partner. It will be interesting to see how they do in a head-to-head race.
Ricky Berens is competing in the 100y fly, which is a really good event for him. This should be an exciting race too.
Here's what the University of Minnesota athletic site says about today's races:
The top events to watch on Friday are the 100 fly and the 100 breast. The 100 fly will feature a matchup between Olympians Lochte and Behrens. [David] Plummer is also entered in the event. Gopher freshman sensation Kyler Van Swol is seeded 16th in the event and should get the opportunity to swim against at least one Olympian in his preliminary heat.
The 100 breast will also be a very interesting race. Lochte and Plummer are in the field. Gopher senior Ivan Gutesa is off to a great start to the season and is seeded 12th in the event.
