Olympic hopefuls take important steps as U.S. Open concludes
USA Swimmingโs nationwide U.S. Open concluded in the Alamo City on Saturday morning with 10 events, five each for both men and women across two separate sessions. Cox ran away from the field and posted a 2:27.55, the fastest time in the country by a full second. โIt definitely felt like a morning swim," Cox said. It was a really great race there, and I was just happy to be in there with them and compete. Although their times were officially recorded as exhibition swims, the experience each garnered will prove invaluable for this season and beyond.
Records fall on second day of U.S. Open in San Antonio
Texas Longhorn alumna Madisyn Cox led the charge in the womenโs session. Overall, Iโm happy with it.โLonghorns teammates Coby Carrozza (3:54.34) and Daniel Krueger (23.25) won the 400 meter Freestyle and 50 meter Freestyle respectively. Thereโs someone up there, and more than that, Iโm just thankful to have [Texas womenโs head coach] Carol [Capitani] cheering me on. โ[The 400 meter Freestyle] was a pretty painful swim to be honest, tough to get through.
