Bick<\/p>\n<p>PHOENIX, Arizona, September 17. THE official rosters for USA Swimming\u2019s squads headed to the big international meets next year haven\u2019t been released yet, but in this age of social media, several athletes have jumped the gun and publicly announced their selections after getting the call from USA Swimming.<\/p>\n<p>Darian Townsend celebrated his first time on Team USA\u2019s international racing roster Tuesday with the following Tweet:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-partner=\"tweetdeck\">\n<p>Extremely proud to be selected to represent the USA at the Pan American Games next July in Toronto! Preparation starts today!  <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/cantwait?src=hash\">#cantwait<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Darian Townsend (@dariantownsend) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/dariantownsend\/status\/511943067302367232\">September 16, 2014<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Almost two months after <a href=http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/south-african-swimmer-becomes-u-s-citizen-darian-townsend-poised-to-wear-stars-and-stripes\/>becoming an American citizen<\/a>, Darian Townsend will travel to Toronto next year to swim in his first Pan American Games. Townsend was a gold medalist for South Africa in the 2004 Olympics in the 400 free relay and represented his home country in 2008 and 2012 as well. It\u2019s likely that Townsend will see more relay action at Pan Ams in the 400 free relay, since his highest finish at nationals was 10th in the 100 freestyle.<\/p>\n<p>The Pan American Games team will be the second-tier of American athletes racing internationally next year. The world championships, set for July in Russia, will feature the best athletes based on times from this year\u2019s nationals and Pan Pacific championships. The Pan American Games roster is picked from swims done <i>only<\/i> at nationals, according to USA Swimming\u2019s selection procedures.<\/p>\n<p>The University of Tennessee is also celebrating a bit early, issuing a press release about the swim team\u2019s current and graduated Volunteers who will swim internationally in 2015. Brad Craig, the 2013 short course national champion in the 200 breast, will swim at the Pan American Games next year after finishing fourth in the 100 breast at the long course nationals last month. Before that, he\u2019ll make his senior-level international racing debut this December at the short course world championships.<\/p>\n<p>Molly Hannis, a perennial presence in the finals of the NCAA championships for Tennessee, will swim at the World University Games next summer in South Korea. The World University Games features athletes who are currently studying in college \u2013 as well as a few incoming freshman and recently-graduated athletes. Hannis was fourth in the 200 breast at nationals and seventh in the 100 breast.<\/p>\n<p>The international representation doesn\u2019t stop there for the Tennessee Volunteers. Associate coach Tyler Fenwick posted the following on Twitter:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-partner=\"tweetdeck\">\n<p>Found out today that I&#39;ll be headed to Hong Kong with the US National Team for the FINA World Cup in October!
