Watching the Charlotte UltraSwim results

I took a quick look at the Charlotte UltraSwim results (the meet's not actually over until Sunday).

Somewhat predictably, Phelps won the 100 fly and 200 free. Can't wait for the rematch with Biedermann when suits aren't a factor.

Testicular cancer veteran Eric Shanteau won the 200 meter breaststroke, so he's still doing well, post-Olympics and post-cancer (I hope).

Maryland's current top woman swimmer (now that Katie Hoff has moved to California to train), Elizabeth Pelton, won the 100 back, and beat Natalie Coughlin in the process (presumably, Natalie might still be recovering from her "Dancing with the Stars" break). Coughlin won the 100 fly, though.

Dagny Knutson won the 200 fly and the 200 free, the latter in dominating fashion; she's one of U.S.A.'s current best.

Sunday has showcase races I like to watch; the 200 IM and 100 free. I'll also be watching to see who's where in the women's 1500. Kate Ziegler wasn't in the 800 free field. Ziegler is still swimming, though; she was second in the 800 at Ohio State a month ago.

If you're interested and you don't have the right TV link, you can watch replays of all the events on Universal Sports.


This reminded me to check in on Grant, Candice, and the twins, who seem to be doing just fine:
