More Predictions... From Andy Scherer

Andy Scherer of The Swimmer's Circle posted his picks tonight, just in time to be included in the contest. Andy too picked Nick Thoman to upset Aaron Peirsol in the men's 100 back, and he also thinks Eric Shanteau will finish ahead of Ryan Lochte in the 200 IM and grab second. He has Eric Shanteau sweeping the men's breaststroke races, with Scott Spann third in both; he has Kevin Swander splitting the difference in the 100 distance and Adam Klein in the 200. On the ladies' side, he predicts Allison Schmitt sweeping the women's 200 and 400 free and Julia Smit winning the 400 IM. He also says Elaine Breeden (100 fly) and Anne-Marie Botek (50 free) will jump in for second-place slots.
