Ok, so I blinked and almost missed Cullen Jones. But thanks to the internet, I was able to see him come in second in the second heat of the 100 free prelims. Tonight is the finals of that event, and Jones is fourth in the line-up.

Perspective is a trip. I was looking at this Olympics like it would be the Cullen Jones show. I really didn’t know what a big deal Michael Phelps was. He’s actually going out for 14 different events, as opposed to 1 or 2. And he swims well enough to make it in anything he goes for. Jones was humble enough to know how hard it is to make the team. I’m hoping he does just that. There are a lot of hungry swimmers in that pool. Every single one of them is after the same thing.

I thought Cullen Jones performed pretty well, but I was disappointed that he didn’t win his heat, or break any records, etc. Will he make the team? I will definitely be watching tonight to see.

Be sure to catch the Olympic trials tonight. If you miss them on TV, this is the site to catch your favorite event.
