“2:09.63” eh?

Better not let Katie Ledecky see this — she’ll hang up,her suit and start playing water polo ( synchro?)

Think you mean “4:09.63.”

I know, the “2” and “4” keys are just too darn close together.

P.s. Latest USS NAG rankings show Eastin among 17-18 girls somherbthree individual wins last week @ PAC-12s ALL 17-18 NAG records.
