Some quick thoughts coming out of the second day of heats and then predix for tonight!
- Matt Grevers (16th) and Dave Walters (15th) were way to close to not making it. Hopefully these two put together quality swims tonight to get into finals.
- In the five events contested (W 100 Back, M 200 Free, W 100 Breast, M 100 Back, W 1500 Free), nine out of ten Americans advanced to semi-finals. The only one shut out was Haley Anderson, who finished ninth in the 1500.
- Kitajima's 100 breast world record is toast tonight. (Yeah, I know I said that last night, but I can't see it living past tonight.)
