1661 swimmers, 227 teams, 380 coaches and 92 officials make Y Nat's a monstrosity of a meet. You can barely wrap your brain around it as a story...... I haven't gotten any sleep.
Aside from calling the finals, the main events of the evenings, I've managed to grab some video behind the scenes.
Schroeder Y had the race of the night in the men's 4x100 free relay. They slammed the old record with immense help from Mitchell Friedemann who split a 43. Click here for my interview with the guys about 3 minutes after the race.
I also caught with Ira Klein, head coach of Sarasota Y, the 35 year powerhouse that always kicks-ass at Y Nats. Click here to see his interview.
Completely OT.
Thanks to Megan from MPF, my European bandwagoning self, who's still ignoring so much about the US swimming world, just found out yesterday about your Baywatch appearance and it made my day for real!
;D
