go iu bb Posted July 30, 2023 Posted July 30, 2023 Hafnaoui wins the 1500 in championship record time and the 2nd fastest time ever in the event. He had a great meet with 2 golds (800, 1500) and a sliver after getting out-touched at the wall in the 400. Not only did he place well in all 3 events, but his times were exceptional and some of the fastest ever. I'm actually wondering if he'll swim in competitions for IU this year or not. There is another Worlds in February and the Olympics are also next year. Matheny has also had some success at this meet (although no medals) so he may also take an Olympic redshirt year. I hope they both compete for IU this year but certainly wouldn't be surprised or blame them in they didn't. I guess we'll see. https://swimswam.com/ahmed-hafnaoui-and-bobby-finke-become-second-and-third-fastest-1500-freestylers-ever/ Lilly King takes silver in the 50 breast, getting beat by a WR performance. She also wins gold as part of the medley relay. https://swimswam.com/2023-world-championships-day-8-finals-live-recap/ go iu bb, Class of '66 Old Fart and ALASKA HOOSIER 3 Quote

I'm impressed. Yeah, it's a good pick up. Swimswam only ranks top 20, then they have an honorable mention which is the next ~5 swimmers. These tend to be swimmers that are elite (top of the class) at a few events and/or very versatile and are good for relays. Then they have Best of the Rest, which are other really good swimmers worth mentioning but might be only pretty good at fewer events or not quite as fast as the elite. She is currently ranked by them in this category. Very good but not top of the class. Kind of like a 4* basketball player. Plus, she's just a junior so she has time to improve before even getting to IU. go iu bb 1 Quote
