Just was looking through the psyche sheets and saw a familiar name pop up...Israel Duran Mata! Apparently training in British Columbia (which I thought at last check was where Julia Wilkinson is as well). Seeded 7th in the 200 fly, will be swimming against the big boys!

Did I read that right? Duran trains in Canada?

I don't know it for a fact, but he's listed on the psych sheets as team "BC". Usually, for internationals (who aren't officially associated with a USA-S club), they put the country from which they hail, unless it's Canada, then they usually put the province. So I assume that BC is saying British Columbia.

Duran trains?

what are the regulations on re-recruiting a swimmer?

Do they have fish tacos for him to eat in Canada while he trains?

cooper - In this case: ZERO chance of that happening.

His eligibility would be about gone by now anyway.

Yes LOB Absolutely zero chance!

ORLY?

Cooper- I don't want to be to mean here, but I believe he would have to get back into school before he considers competing...

wait...israel is coming back to school? i'm confused. will someone please explain to me?

Looks like Michael Phelps swam very well in this meet. Each of his five swims were the fastest in the world this year.

It looks like Duran's "BC" is Baja California, not British Columbia.

Phelps was outstanding at this meet!

Must be all that training he's doing with his Xbox Kinect...
