Pan Pacs Predictions: Katie Kearbey

"Shawn Klosterman AKA swimviking gave me your link and I'm always ready to take on a challenge!

"I'm Katie Kearbey I'm 16 and a former swimmer of his but I have beat him in a few throw downs before. For my predictions I went with some obvious, some who's personality will always guarantee a good race, a few guesses and some I just liked their names."

Editor's note: I am rooting for Katie to beat Shawn, partially because Shawn said he wanted Chris DFLSantis to beat me in my Nationals prediction contest and take away my title of THE Swim Geek. Also because I think it's cool when swimmers know more than their coach. Take that Viking!

Katie sees Ryan Lochte getting a win in the men's 100 back, along with George Du Rand in the 50 and 200 back. She also predicts Sarah Katsoulis to take the women's 50 breast and Natalie Coughlin to emerge the victor in her signature 100 back, ahead of young challengers Liz Pelton and Emily Seebohm. Everyone in the prediction contest has picked Rebecca Soni to win the women's 200 breast, but Katie is predicting that Soni will take the world record down with her.
