"Indianapolis — Cullen Jones, a former N.C. State standout, has broken the American record in the 50-meter freestyle at the U.S. national championships.

Jones, who swam in college for NC State, touched in 21.41 seconds Saturday night, lowering the old mark of 21.76 set by Gary Hall Jr. in 2000.

He edged Garrett Weber-Gale in a swim-off for the second spot in the event at the world championships later this month. Weber-Gale was clocked in 21.70.

Jones' time was faster than what Nathan Adrian swam in winning the 50 Thursday night, when Jones and Weber-Gale tied for second.

Adrian won in 21.52. The swim-off was required to determine who gets the other spot in the 50 in Rome.

Olympians Jones and Weber-Gale had already qualified for the team in the 400 freestyle relay."


I remember when he came to to a football game last year after the Olympics. Hopefully he does well at the world meet later this month.

^^NC State shit is only effective when you represent a NC State team rather than basically yourself

At least, this is how timing for the Olympics works. Pretty cool article.

I was at that game. Was that the one where Chad (of Alltel fame) came out on the field?
