Thanks for the link BC.
Appears both the US and Russian men broke the meet record for the 4X100 in a race that was tight throughout. Nice to see that Nathan Adrian has rebounded from his health issues well enough to put in an excellent, and winning, anchor leg!
US Women broke the American record for the 4X100, but finished 2nd to the Aussies' Meet Record time. Australia's Campbell sisters will be force @ Tokyo and the US is going to need a better 3rd leg to beat them there. Notable that Manuel swam anchor over Abbey Weitzeil, who may still be recovering from an injury suffered @ NCAAs. Ruck's 52.19 was the fastest leg on the third placed Canadian team.
Times and appearances should be more representative in this meet than for the Indoors Worlds, but I suspect many of our elite swimmers will be using this meet as a dress rehearsal for the Tokyo Olympics, so probably best to enjoy the good, and don't freak about the underwhelming performances.
