That medal which appeared to be a gold-silver striped medal was only going to be handed out for one event, or so they said. They'll probably threaten us with its reappearance in, say, archery or equestrian events. I personally would rather they just stuck to the traditional gold and silver as indicated in the official PANTONE palette.

WV when UM is pursuing him. Harley and his parents just visited A2 so there should have been real interest in both sides. Our 2016 class is loaded with slots, but Harley has some elusiveness that can always help a team.

BTW, what's the scoop on WR Brad Hawkins? Did he show in A2 or is he bound for a different path for next year?

Wow - Ryan Lochte fell apart and did not qualify for Rio in the 400IM.  He had a big lead into breaststroke, and coughed it up to Chase Kalisz, who won.  Lochte finished third, Jay Litherland second!

I was sitting at the computer and managed to look up when I heard Michigan.  Figured there'd be others featuring other schools, like with the NCAA men's gymnastics ads, but only saw a replay of this one.  (A car sponsor.)

Missy Franklin and the ageless Natalie Coughlin make it to semi's in 100 back.

Sheesh - three-way swim-off needed to determine 15 and 16 places for the 100 back.  Ryan Murphy, Matt Grevers, Sean Lehane top three for tonight.  And a swim-off needed to determine order of the two alternates.

Ledecky leads the way into the 200 free semi's, along with Missy Franklin, Allison Schmitt (who's from Canton, MI, btw), Leah Smith (second in the 400 free) and other great swimmers.

Michael Phelps leads the guys into the 200 fly semi's!  Michigan's Kyle Whitaker did not make it :(  However, Tyler Clary did!  (So many Michigan swimmers - so many names popping up from the past years)

Missed the women's 200 free semis.

Haas and Dwyer to represent the USA in the men's 200 free.  Ryan Lochte will be on the relay (finished fourth) with Jack Conger, who finished a tenth behind Dwyer.  No joy for Tyler Clary.

Smoliga and Baker to Rio in the women's 100 back.  Franklin finished seventh, and Coughlin eight - disappointing for them.  Deloof and Smiddy fourth and sixth - not bad.  Something is up with Franklin...not sure what.  She swam for a year at Cal and then went pro.
