By M. Duncan Scott<\/p>\n

PALO ALTO, Calif. August 3. FIRST-time champions were crowned for both women and men on the first day of competition at the 2004 ConocoPhillips USA Swimming Summer National Championships in Palo Alto, California.<\/p>\n

Alyssa Kiel, Lake Erie Silver Dolphins, is the women\u2019s national champion at 800 freestyle in a PB 8:33.08 (4:15.08). Justin Mortimer, Mission Viejo, won the men\u2019s event at 8:02.90 (4:01.79).<\/p>\n

The meet began Tuesday at Stanford University\u2019s Avery Aquatic Center. The Farm, as Stanford is affectionately called by its students, has been at the epicenter of American swimming for a good portion of the time since the Olympic Trials concluded in the parking lot in Long Beach, first as a training camp for the U.S. team at the front end of its Olympic journey and now as the host of the Summer Nationals. Next week it will host the NCSA Junior Nationals.<\/p>\n

There are a couple of interesting parallels between the winners. Each is a teammate of the athlete that won the distance event at Trials and each was a finalist her- and himself in that event. Kiel finaled in the 800 at Trials, and her training partner is two-time Olympian Diana Munz; Mortimer was third in the 1500 at Trials and shared a set or two this summer with Larsen Jensen, who in Long Beach added the American record at 1500 meters to the 800 mark already on his resume.<\/p>\n

Joining Kiel in the medals were another Trials finalist, Kate Ziegler, The Fish-PV, and 2000 Olympian Julia Stowers of Pilot-Knoxville TN. Official results are posted below for women\u2019s swims below 8:50.00.<\/p>\n

Ziegler (8:30.92, fourth at Trials) maintained her reputation for swimming on the lead by touching first at each split until the 600, and finished just .16 back from Kiel at 8:33.24.<\/p>\n

Stowers had an encouraging swim as well. The 22 year old, who made the Sydney team off her fourth place finish in the 200 freestyle, had not been able to improve any of her seed times in her primary races this summer. Today she was third at 8:41.14, an improvement of over eight seconds on Long Beach and a lifetime personal best by over a second. Watch for her to have good swims at the 200 and 400 distances as well.<\/p>\n

Mortimer took control over the last 200 meters, per his plan. His last 400 was faster than his first by about 2\/3 second. He missed the Olympic team at 1500 freestyle by only 1.7 seconds after putting a closing rush on Erik Vendt.<\/p>\n

Chris Thompson, Club Wolverine, (second, 8:04.92), pictured here, has provided drama to the world of swimming all summer. The 1500 meter bronze medalist from Sydney was one of three favorites for the two spots on this year\u2019s team, along with qualifiers Jensen and Erik Vendt. A battle royale for the spots was expected. Unfortunately, earlier in the summer Thompson broke bones in both his arms while in Colorado Springs with his team at the Olympic Training Center. The time was too short, most felt, to even consider competing at the Trials. <\/p>\n

Thompson not only competed, but was 11th after the qualifying round. After two finalists scratched and it was learned that the next alternate had already left for home, he found himself in the finals, where he finished a credible seventh. A couple of weeks later and he is medaling at Nationals. It will be interesting to see how far back his 1500 comes by the end of the meet and whether he can challenge the 15:11.96 with which Vendt made the U.S. team. <\/p>\n

Results for the top 10 finishers are listed below. Full results are available through the link below. <\/p>\n

There are 9:00 a.m prelims and 5:00 p.m. finals on each of the remaining meet days.<\/p>\n
