  o Ryan Flynn anchoring the 400 free relay at state
  o Tiemeier verses the beret boy from some green and yellow school up north. Mano-y-Mano. This kid kept stalling while T is just behind the blocks waiting. The whole LaSalle state team entourage is watching. Every flip turn the kid would pull ahead of T and at the end of every wall T would beat him to the turn. It was the best race I ever saw! It’s still the 100 free school record. No doubts about who was gonna win that one. You could see it in his eyes.
