Braden's Predictions

Braden Keith of The Swimmer's Circle also sent me his predictions tonight. Going with a few darkhorses to make a mark. He has Peirsol finishing outside of the top three in the men's 100 back, and Lyndsay DePaul taking out the women's 200 fly. He predicts that Cal swimmers Madison Kennedy and Caitlin Leverenz will upstage more commonly-predicted swimmers to take top three in the 50 free and 400 IM, respectively, as well as Michigan men Matt Patton (400 free) and Chris Brady (100 fly). He also has Marcus Titus (men's 100 breast), Alex Vanderkaay (men's 400 IM), Missy Franklin (women's 50 free), and Curtis Lovelace (200 breast) slipping into second place in an event each.

    So David, are you holding your picks out until after the deadline? Home team gets to bat last?

    I will have mine posted by tonight, well before the deadline. If I get any overnight, I will post those in the morning.

    My final picks are done - http://speedendurance.blogspot.com/2010/07/us-nationals-predictions-work-in.html

    Think a lot of this could be decided on which events Lochte swims finals for.

    That is always the case. I'm assuming he goes with his typical four: 400 IM, 200 free, 200 IM, 200 back. No 100 back because it's right after 200 free, and no 100 free because it's right before 200 IM. We shall see.
