Swimmers crowd the fast lane headed to worlds, Rio
Missy Franklin got out of a red car Sunday morning sporting a new red and black Speedo jacket, and Cal coach Teri McKeever had one word for her:
Franklin is fresh off signing her first endorsement deal with Speedo, and her new apparel nearly matched that of her college rival, Stanford.
Franklin had “mixed feelings” about her performance during the Arena Pro Swim Series event in Santa Clara.
[...] she was pleased with her strokes, which is what’s most important heading into this summer’s world championships in Russia.
Murphy beat Olympic gold medalists Michael Phelps, Matt Grevers and Tyler Clary in the 200-meter backstroke.
Murphy will travel to the world championships this summer to swim against his best competition yet.
[...] Phelps will travel to Colorado for intense training at the U.S. Olympic Training Center with his coach Bob Bowman.
Phelps expects a painful and mentally challenging few weeks preparing to make a strong comeback for the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
