Olympic Trials Day 6 and 7

The Olympic Trials are over and we have several weeks to wait for another exciting week of swimming to begin. While Oregon had no swimmers on the final day of swimming, days six and seven of the eight day meet saw a new Oregon record and several second swims from Oregon swimmers. Morgon Scroggy of THSC just missed the Open 200 backstroke of 2:12.40 record in the prelims with her 2:13.52. Morgan placed 16th and earned a trip to the semi-final. During the semi-final Morgan dropped over two seconds swimming 2:11.36 and took the Oregon record held by 1994 World Championships team member Rachel Joseph. More impressive is her time bumped her up 8 places and earned trip to the final, the only OSI swimmer to do so. During the final, Morgan couldn't quite match her semi-final time and swam 2:12.89 for eighth place.

Logan Madson of BEND placed 16th in the 100 fly, making him the only OSI man to earn a second swim. His time of 53.49 just missed the OSI record of 2004 Olympian Igor Marchenko which stands at 53.30. Logan placed 16th in the semi-final with a 53.97.
