US Nationals

I was in Seattle last weekend watching my son compete at the US National Short Course Championships. There were many world record holders and Olympians at the meet. My son swims with the University of Iowa and they came 5th overall. Duncan is a freestyle sprinter ie 50 yd and 100 yd. He made the finals for both these races coming 14th and 16th overall and got to race Olympians in his heat placing 6th.

He was in 4 relays and anchored the 4x50 freestyle to 5th place and the 4x100 medley to 6th place. He just turned 19 and is 6ft 5in. We are so proud of him! :D

Here is a video showing the 4x100 medley relay. Each swimmer swims 4 laps of a different stroke ie Back, Breast, Butterfly and Free. University of Iowa is in Lane 5...4th from the top. Duncan is the last swimmer anchoring the freestyle. There is a great closeup of him at the end.
