June 11, 2009 PRs for both Robert Hurley and Ryan Hapolean, the latter dropping four seconds from his olf pr anf meet-record 7:58 from the Junior Pan-Pacs last January in Guam.
He'll be a good one oe of hese days and Hurley's no slouch eihher.
La Tourette's time is his second-best 800, off his 7:49 that won gold at the 2007 World Uniersity Games in Bangkok.

June 12, 2009 Hurley at one point held the WR in the 50 scm back. Given his backstroking ability and endurance you'd think he had a good 200 back in him. Submitted by: halfbreed
