2012 Olympic Trials Cuts Released

Team USA’s Tristin Baxter and Damarias Iriondo went 1-2 in the women’s 10K open water race Monday at the Junior Pan Pacific Championships in Maui. Baxter finished nearly three minutes ahead of the rest of the field, turning in a time of 1 hour, 58 minutes and 42.77 seconds. Iriondo was second in 2:01:35.60, while Japan’s Haruna Ota was third in 2:03:16.67.

The National Youth Team won 12 medals – five gold, three silver and four bronze – Sunday at the Junior Pan Pacific Championships in Maui. David Nolan set the meet record in the men’s 200m IM, while the American 400m medley relays set meet records in both the women’s and men’s events.

Amanda Beard has proven time and time again that she is a big-meet swimmer. From the first time she strolled to the starting blocks as a wide-eyed 14-year-old carrying her teddy bear at the 1996 Atlanta Games and went on to win two silver medals, she foretold of a future when her best performances would come on the biggest stages against the best competition.

We are pleased to share with you that the USA Swimming Board of Directors acted this weekend to immediately implement a series of landmark measures that support the plan.
