#27	Anonymous June 5, 2009 at 12:35am Ben Hinshaw!!! reply
#26	Anonymous Coward June 4, 2009 at 10:31pm Michael phelps's 1:42 long course converts to a mid 1:28 to give you an idea of what it would take reply
#25	Anonymous Coward June 4, 2009 at 1:24pm doubtful that he is gonna go under 1:30. That is a barrier that will stand for a very long time. dont get me wrong, 1:33 in high school is amazing, but he wont break 1:30 in my opinion. reply
#24	Ccjh June 3, 2009 at 7:35pm anyone know where to find his race reply
#23	Coffee June 3, 2009 at 4:18pm hell yeah sunshine reply
#22	Tim Shields June 3, 2009 at 3:38pm Lots of talk about suits in modern times. How about the fact that most HS swimmers, Tom included, have not yet starting weight training...unlike the 90's? Wait until Nick Folker gets his hands on Tom in the fall. Go Bears! reply
#21	Anonymous Coward June 3, 2009 at 2:41pm Yeah, they got Trowbridge too. reply
#20	Next Year June 3, 2009 at 2:39pm Cal has serious potential next year reply
#19	Sunshine June 3, 2009 at 10:39am sunshine! brah that was a freakin awesome swim. congrats man reply
#18	Huh? June 3, 2009 at 12:41am broseppi said: “yikes he played polo for newport? he probably bros out real hard.” bros out? can you translate for us non californians? does this mean he's a surfer dude? i gotta admit though, who doesn't want an accent like that? i know i wouldn't mind reply
#17	Totally Rad Bro... June 3, 2009 at 12:37am Anonymous Coward said: “see, this is a problem. people wonder, "what suit did he wear?" this kid is a beast, i think he can break 1:30.” whoa 1:30 is pushin it for now...lets see what he can do at world trials...getting him in the hands of durden may get him there in his college career but thats a long way. he sounds like a true cali surfer dude bro man HAHA reply
#16	Bryan June 2, 2009 at 10:42pm dude don't go in with a negative attitude like that about making the World team in Rome. 1:33 is sick. You have just as good a chance as anyone going for that relay spot reply
#15	Anonymous Coward June 2, 2009 at 10:20pm see, this is a problem. people wonder, "what suit did he wear?" this kid is a beast, i think he can break 1:30. reply
#14	Anonymous Coward June 2, 2009 at 9:12pm he wore a tracer rise. good suit but nothing too fancy.... reply
#13	Anonymous Coward June 2, 2009 at 7:42pm 1:39.6 whe he was a freshman. crazy. reply
#12	Jenn Verser June 2, 2009 at 6:06pm "It's all about kicking and underwaters." I like it! reply
#11	Greg Gregson June 2, 2009 at 4:30pm Cool kid said: “You know what would be cool? Let's put a picture of ourselves winning the 200 free as our Facebook profile picture, and then Photoshop in text above it that says "200 Freestyle National Record". Oh wait...” That picture, text included, is from OC Varsity. The newspaper photoshopped the national record thing in. If I set a national record and it was featured prominently in a major periodical, I would probably set it as my facebook picture too. reply
#10	Anonymous Coward June 2, 2009 at 4:00pm i think he's very well spoken, and the future perhaps of usa freestyle reply
#9	Anonymous Coward June 2, 2009 at 3:57pm does 1:33.8 convert to about 1:47.32 ish reply
#8	Cool Kid June 2, 2009 at 3:47pm You know what would be cool? Let's put a picture of ourselves winning the 200 free as our Facebook profile picture, and then Photoshop in text above it that says "200 Freestyle National Record". Oh wait... reply
#7	Anonymous Coward June 2, 2009 at 3:39pm now another question is... how much did the suit help in this case. we all know joey hudepohl didn't have a new suit of the day. what would he have gone with the suit? reply
#6	Broseppi June 2, 2009 at 3:32pm yikes he played polo for newport? he probably bros out real hard. reply
#5	Anonymous Coward June 2, 2009 at 11:51am Adam Depmore said: “Stats? Height? Weight? Typical swim/ dryland practice?” He's from Mission, so you know his typical swim practice is gunna be crazay. I believe Mission does a lot of yardage, mostly threshold/ red pace. reply
#4	A Bit Late June 2, 2009 at 11:33am i thought i was gonna be clever, but someone beat me to it. this kid does sound like steve-o, especially his laugh. great interview though, i expect to see good things from this guy. first man under 1:30?? reply
#3	Adam Depmore June 2, 2009 at 11:15am Stats? Height? Weight? Typical swim/ dryland practice? reply
#2	Anonymous Coward June 2, 2009 at 10:51am he sounds like Steve-o reply
#1	Tight June 2, 2009 at 9:30am this guys gonna own it up reply
