Time?
Good to see Vose back! And yes Scott, Aroesty, Vose may be the best breaststroke group in the country (Stanford?)
These guys are swimming awfully fast 😮
wow that’s very impressive!!! esp this early on! assume they would be racing in practice suits at this time of the season?
Since this is a larger invitational they might have suited up like they do for the SMU classic.
I agree that they are probably suited up. Hopefully, they swim better at end of the season. Sometimes their smu classic times are same as end of season times!
