U.S. OLYMPIC TRIALS UPDATE 7/12/04
Well, what can you do?
In the 200 Breaststroke final, Tara Kirk failed to qualify, finishing 5th. Amanda Beard set the world record with a time of 2:22:44, 4.78 seconds ahead of Caroline Bruce. Beard had previously set the WR in the 200 Breaststroke in 2003. But her previous WR of 2:22:99 was broken by Leisel Jones on July 9 (2:22:96). Beard has now reclaimed the world record. Congrats.
In the 100 Butterfly semifinals, Justin Adrian failed to qualify for the finals, finishing 8th in the second heat with a time of 54.79.
Congrats to all Bremertonians in the swimming trials, Tara, Dana, and Justin. We'll see Tara and Dana in Athens. Tara will swim in the 100 Breaststroke while Dana will swim in the 200 Butterfly.
The Olympics begin August 13 and end August 29. We'll definitely cover the Kirks exploits in Athens. Bring home the gold, ladies.
