Live stream can be found at the link above, also the psych sheet can be found below the date near the top of the page.
There are several Club Wolverine swimmers at this race; Michael Phelps, Robert Savulich, Julia Andracki, Michael Swain, Matthew Patton and Alex and Peter Vanderkaay. *Brian posted an article on Peter Vanderkaay in the side bar earlier this week.
Part of the meet will be televised on NBC.
Two weeks after this meet is the Pan Pacific Championship which should be a good showdown against Australia.
EDIT:
Peter Vanderkaay interview was shown during day 1 of the meet. He talked about swimming in the 1500 and times with out the fast suits. Then towards the end he lifted up his cap with a big Block M on it that said C.S. Mott Childrens Hospital. He said that he will be dedicating his swims to those children and that he try to make it up their at least once a week.
did you mean several swimmers as well as Phelps are there?
AFAIK, Phelps is not swimming for Club Wolverine.
EDIT: I was reading the records he set was when he was swimming with Club Wolverine.
After the BP/Gulf of Mexico disaster, it seems kind of odd to have a petroleum company sponsoring any event that has to do with water (and competitions within said water).
Go Club Wolverine!
It's always has been for as long as I can remember. They host a lot of the big swim meets. When you're a not a high profile sport you take it anywhere you can get it. That being said, it's not the BP Nationals so moot point.

BP is no longer a petroleum company. It is Beyond Petroleum.
NBAC -> North Baltimore Aquatic Club
The only reason Phelps came to Club Wolverine was to follow his coach, Bob Bowman. Bowman has been coaching Phelps since Phelps was 13/14 I believe.
