Australian World Championship Team

Available below is the list of the entire Aussie World Championship Team. Two notable names not going to Rome are Ashley Callus and Matt Jaukovic, who were third in the 50 Free (Callus, after posting the fastest time of the meet in semi-finals), and the 50 and 100 Fly (Jaukovic).

Another name not on the roster is Ben Treffers. He led the semi-finals of the 50 Back in 25.10 and finished second to Ashley Delaney's new Australian record (24.81) in the finals. His time was 25.15, one one-hundredth off the "A" qualifying time for Rome. Even though he achieved the "A" time in the semi-finals, head coach Alan Thompson has not decided to include him on the team.

I scored myself based on my predictions (2 points per correct swimmer in correct place, 1 point for correct swimmer but wrong place). Final score of 77! I'm competing with the guys from Behind the Blocks (behindtheblocks.blogspot.com).
