Katie Hoff swims and wins the 1500

Loving those "antenna ears" in that picture! Anyway, I don't think I have ever seen or heard of Katie Hoff swimming the metric mile but on Monday night at the North Baltimore Aquatic Club Long Course Championships she swam a sizzling 16:18.43. What does that work out to be; a 1:05.50 per 100? (I did the math in my head so beware.) She swam the 200, and the 400 as well. [Link]

Well she did have all 13 Olympic Trial cuts as of last summer, so she must have swum it fast some time.

WOW!

Sometimes I question if she is really a land dwelling animal. Too many races, not enough medals. ;-)

I think she and Kate Ziegler will be the stars of of the women's team in Beijing next year. They are practically untouchable.
