<p>Who is the plebe-to-be that is trying to win a spot on the USA Olympic Swim Team this week in Omaha ?</p>
<p>Whomever it is, I wish them the best of luck.</p>
<p>that story should at least make ESPN.</p>
<p>If I’m interpreting this article correctly, his name is Mark Meyer.

<p>a little off topic, but do you think they’ll let us watch the opening ceremony? it’s the friday of PPW…</p>
<p>I think his brother is a 2/c and has also qualified.</p>
<p>hersheybear04,</p>
<p>No.</p>
<p>^^ PlebeMom I agree, I interpreted the article the same way you did. Best of luck to both of them!!!</p>
<p>I understand he’ll be present for I-day oath, then whisked back that evening to Omaha for the trials…good luck and swim your fastest MIDN Meyer !</p>
<p>His brother will swim on the 1st & 3rd. The trials will be delay telecast on USA or NBC. The schedules for all Navy swimmers are here.</p>

<p>Just so you all know… There are FEMALE MIDS swimming at trials too!</p>
<p>I don’t think anyone ever questioned whether there were female mids qualifying, nor did anyone assume that it was an all-male event.</p>
<p>^^^^^^Yep, exactly as the linked article stated. Some people have issues about which we cannot understand.</p>
<p>ALL Navy swimmers means ALL NAVY SWIMMERS. What don’t some of you get. Regardless of gender they are all Navy.</p>
<p>Team as of 07/05</p>

<p>2/c Thuy Mi Dinh swam at the trials, too, in the 50 free. She’s a good friend of mine. She dominates the Patriot League in the sprints.</p>
<p>USNA has been well represented. For the women, Thuy Mi Dinh (as mentioned) and Mallory Dietrich competed. For the men: Joe Smutz '06, and Adam Meyer. Brand new plebes Mark Meyer and Charlie Hetzel swam. Mark swam on Tuesday and reported a day late for plebe summer. Charlie reported for I day and left that night to compete on Friday. I believe he returned to the Academy on Saturday. Of note, Adam Meyer swam VERY well and just missed making the semi-finals. Go Navy!</p>
