If UCSD’s Julian Jacobs swam 49.36 thus morning in the 100 BACK orelins as the report states he is almost a full second FASTER than Kevin Cordes’ American/ NCAA record!
— and in the prelims no less!
Where’s this guy been?
I think the event was the 100 backstroke.
I meant 100 breast in first post so second is right.
