Janet Evans or Brooke Bennetts pool record??
WHS ^
So Brooke Bennett or Janet Evans. Please proof read, or tie the story in better. A record over twenty years is quite an accomplishment to whomever had it before. Congratulations to new holder.
Wow, there was a record Katie Ledecky hadn’t already broken?!
lol..She can’t go around swimming the 1500 in every pool in the nation….just wait til she turns Pro…all Records will become hers in her signature events…and can’t wait til she swims short course meters for a few more WORLD records..for sure..
Great
Congratulations Ashley!!
Congrats from the Jensen-Manor family!
