Congratulations to former GP Frogs Bill Cregar, Michael Joyce and Brendan McHugh who will be competing in the 2012 US Olympic Swimming Trials!
The trials start on Monday June 25 in Omaha, Nebraska and feature some of the fastest swimmers in the world.
Bill will be competing in the 400 meter individual medley and 200 meter individual medley. Michael will be also be swimming in the 400 individual medley and 200 individual medley, as well as the 100 meter butterfly.
In a twist of fate, on the first day of competition both Bill and Michael are in the same prelim heat for the 400 IM, competing directly against one another. Oh, and by the way, there's another guy you may have heard of in that same heat who they'll both be swimming against - his name is Michael Phelps.
Brendan will be swimming in the 200 meter and 100 meter breaststroke. The 100 breast also takes place on the first day of competition on the 25th.
