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

PALO ALTO, Calif., August 4. EIGHT events. Eight new champions crowned at the 2004 ConocoPhillips US National Championships.<\/p>\n

Remember these names: Tanica Jamison. Garrett Weber-Gale. Haley McGregory. Trent Staley. Kim Vandenberg. Gil Stovall. Lindsay Ertter. Julien Nicolardot . <\/p>\n

Remember some because you may well be hearing them on future national or Olympic teams. Remember others because this is farewell. <\/p>\n

The cycle of life comes to swimming. A post-Trials nationals always has a different, sometimes bittersweet flavor to it with the top guns out of the picture. It is an opportunity for a confidence breakthrough that will make it easier to compete with those top guns the next time around. For some, a win here may make the difference in whether to retire or keep plugging away for the an opportunity at the next international travel squad. Others want one last taper to savor.<\/p>\n

100 Freestyle
\nWomen
\nJamison has been a stalwart for Texas ever since her arrival in Austin. Consistent big heat points in IM, butterfly, freestyle, relays. But never the top spot. Never until now. Jamison won at 55.96, .06 ahead of her Trials semifinal effort. She had both the fastest first 50 (27.16) and the fastest second 50 (28.80). <\/p>\n

Kate Dwelley, Terrapins, only 15, was in the final of the 200 freestyle at the Trials and didn\u2019t even swim the 100 distance there. Three weeks later she is the silver medalist at nationals in the shorter event. We said then she is a name to watch for in Bejing, and this placement does not change our minds.<\/p>\n

\n 28.41 57.33 (28.92)<\/p>\n

Men
\nGarrett Weber-Gale is one of those names for the future. He was the only teenager to make the finals in the 100 freestyle at the Trials, one of only two finalists under age 25. He missed the Athens trip by only one place. Now he is the national champion. <\/p>\n

Tucker, a 1996 and 2000 Olympian with a lifetime best of 48.95 from the 2000 Trials, fell just short of the 50 second barrier again, just as he had at Trials.<\/p>\n

\n 24.52 51.81 (27.29)<\/p>\n

200 Breaststroke
\nWomen
\nLindsey Ertter of the Athens Bulldogs is another swimmer like Jamison. She\u2019s been in more championship heats at big meets including the NCAAs, US Nationals and Grand Prix meets than you can shake a stick at but never on the top of the awards podium\u2026until now. She trailed young Rebecca Soni by a small margin at the 100 and 150, but had the fastest last 50 of the field to claim the title.<\/p>\n

Men
\nFrance goes 1-2 in the 200 breaststroke led by a PR 2:14.52 from Julien Nicolardot, who had the fastest last 50 meters both morning and night and was followed to the wall 1.73 later by Christophe Richard. <\/p>\n

It could be that we saw America\u2019s future in this event in the bottom three place. Sean Mahoney, 15, Terrapins swam 2:16.63 at an age group meet after being 13th at Trials. Paul Kornfeld, 17, Blue Tide, this spring broke a longstanding 200 yd breaststroke national age group record by Olympian and world record-holder John Moffet. And don\u2019t forget Scott Spann, 16, Longhorn, who\u2019s clearly got the best genes in the crowd. With an American record-setting dad and national finalist sister, he will only get better.<\/p>\n

200 Backstroke
\nWomen<\/p>\n

Haley McGregory showed that her doublet of third place finishes at the Trials in backstroke events was not a fluke. She won in a solid 2:13.59, taking a lead of over a second on the first 50 meters and controlling the race from there.<\/p>\n

Men
\n \u201cI actually retired at Trials and made a come-back in the last three weeks,\u201d Staley said. \u201cI was hoping this would be the result.\u201d He won at 2:02.02.<\/p>\n

So why the come-back? <\/p>\n

\u201cI realized I had a chance at winning,\u201d he said. \u201cI wish I had a more noble reason, but that\u2019s it for now."

200 Butterfly
\nWomen
\nKim Vandenberg notched another fine swim for the victory, dropping another .16 seconds from her 5th place Trials swim. Courtney Eads had a breakout performance, dropping her personal best nearly two seconds to 2:11.73.<\/p>\n

Men
\nWilliam Stoval1, 18, Memphis Tigers, did a personal best both in prelims and then in the semifinal of this event at Trials where he finished ninth. His future looks bright as the only teenager to make the final was some fellow named Phelps.<\/p>\n

His real breakthrough, though, came after Trials at the SPEEDO Champions Series meet in Auburn, Alabama. He won the 200 butterfly in that meet at 1:59.24. He neared that time in prelims but was not able to repeat it in the final. He still was able to do enough for gold.<\/p>\n

John Abercrombie, Longhorn, was 1:58.82 for fifth at the Trials but was unable to repeat that performance here.<\/p>\n
