Here's the rest of Wed. night.
Congratulations to Allison Schmitt (Canton HS graduate/Club Wolverine) as she finished 2nd in the 200 free at 1:55.92 and just being out touched by Katie Hoff at 1:55.88 - so she will swim at the Olympics! Allison looked great and we actually thought she was going to beat Katie.
Michael Phelps won the 200 fly. Katie Hoff won the 200 IM with a new American Record.
After all of the FAST swimming we walked out front of the Qwest Center. "We hit the motherload," as far as autographs went. We got Cullen Jones, Ryan Lochte (a real cutie), Kate Ziegler, and former Olympians Summer Sanders and Mel Stewart (1992 200 Fly Gold Medalist and set the Olympic record in that event, a Gold Medalist in the 4X100 relay, and a Bronze medalist in the 4X200 relay). We each got a picture HOLDING Mel's Gold Medal - with Mel. I never imagined I'd get to HOLD a gold medal. Visit http://www.swimnetwork.com/ as I promised to post this on my blog if Mel let ME hold the gold medal and get a picture too.
We finally left at 9:30 p.m. to head back to our hotel room.
