Navy win should have ND ready for Purdue
Using a punishing ground game Notre Dame opened its 2012 season with a lopsided win over a undermanned Navy team, 50-10, last week in Dublin, Ireland. The win was impressive in that it gave the Irish the type of opening season win they needed, after last year's upset loss to South Florida.

2012 Men's College Swimming Preview: #7 USC Will Look To Highly Ranked Freshman Class For Support
A young team with talented upperclassmen and lots of fresh faces makes the 2012-2013 outlook very promising for Southern California.
Key Additions: Ted Singley (distance), Jeffrey Swanston (back), Maclin Davis (fly/free), Brock Redondo (Army Transfer, distance), Gottfried Eisenberger (fly), Dakota Hodgson (Auburn transfer, fly), Morten Klarskov (Breast), Fred Abramyan (sprint)
Key Losses: Jeffrey Daniels (1 NCAA relay), Julian Bonse (17 conference points), Will Orlady (3 conference points)
2012 Recap: USC ended up with a disappointing 7th place finish at NCAAs, plagued by a fluke DQ in the 800 free relay for swimming across the lane prior to the end of the relay which cost them 32 points. In spite of that, they still had a fairly successful meet highlighted by their sprint free relays and several individual second place finishes.
Free Relays: The 2free relay loses senior Jeff Daniels, but returns the other three led by school record holder and rising junior Vladimir Morozov, who took 2nd in the individual event at 2012 NCAAs. The 400 was the Trojans' strongest last year, taking 4th at NCAAs with a 2:50.56. That relay too will smart from the loss of Daniels, but both will be aided by the addition of top recruit Fred Abramyan, who is sub-45 in the 100 and has split sub-20 in the 50.
Sprinters: Losing Daniels will hurt them on the relays, but they have lots of young sprinter talent to make do with. Morozov offers plenty of high-end talent there. The key will be finding the depth to field strong relays, and they'll look to Maclin Davis and others to do so. Two returners, Morozov and Dimitri Coupalev both scored at NCAAs last year in the 100 free.
200 Free: The Trojans really excel here as well, with most of their top-end talent coming over from the distance free group. School record holder Dmitri Colupaev's 1:32.9 took second place last year, and rising sophomore Christian Quintero won the consol heat with a 1:34. USC had five underclassmen in the top 25 at NCAAs, with Chad Bobrosky as first alternate. Their depth in this event bodes well for relays next year, hoping they avoid the DQ that knocked them out at 2012 NCAAs.
D-Group: Led by rising sophomore Cristian Quintero, whose 4:13.0 was good for second place at NCAAs last year, USC has major point-scoring ability in the distance events. Chad Babrosky had a breakout freshman year, going a 4:17 to take 11th at NCAAs. He'll definitely be in the hunt for an A-final swim next year. In the mile, Quintero was 9th in 14:45, and both these men will lead a strong distance corps supported by incoming freshman Ted Singley and transfer Brock Redondo next year.
IM: Rising senior Alex Lendrum and junior Dimitri Colupaev will lead a strong group of sprint IMers. Both have sub-145 200s, but were slightly off at 2012 NCs, with Lendrum taking 14th and school-record holder Colupaev failing to earn a second swim. They'll be hungry for and certainly capable of more this year. No trojans competed in the 400 IM at NCAAs last year.
Medley Relays: Though not as strong as their freestyles, the medley relays have a lot to offer and will return all of their swimmers in addition to adding top high school butterflyer Maclin Davis. Morozov provides a huge anchor leg, but none of the 100 strokers is in that top echelon, and all missed out on scoring in the individual 100s last year.
Fly: Chase Bloch has been 46 before, but was a bit off at NCAAs last year as well, finishing 31st. Next year, they'll look to incoming freshman and 100 fly National High School Record HolderMaclin Davis to step up and score some big points here. Auburn transfer Dakota Hodgson will be a welcome addition in the 200.
Breast: Sergio Lujan Rivera is their current breaststroker and has been 53.78 before. After a strong freshman year, he's certainly well-poised to improve and continue to make an impact not only on relays but individually as well. He'll be joined by incoming freshman Morten Klarskov, Denmark's top breaststroker.
Back: At 46/140, Alex Lendrum leads a strong group of backstrokers that didn't manage to score in the 100 at NCAAs last year. Lendrum was 6th in the 200 with a 142, and has demonstrated that he's capable of going even faster. USC has the depth and talent in the backstroke and will look to incoming freshman Canadian Jeffrey Swanston to add support to this group.
2012-2013 Outlook: The Trojans are well-poised to break back into the top 5 next year. With an incoming class that will fill relay gaps and add depth throughout, USC is ready to top their performance from last year and emerge as a top threat in the NCAA. They're a young team, which bodes well for them because as the swimmers gain more experience they'll learn to manage better the conference meet/NCAA double and post top times at both.

Schneider Wins Tiburon Sprint; Rowdy Bests Vanderpool-Wallace
Josh Schneider knows how to get up and swim. He has mastered the art of the Tiburon Sprint Classic, and on Saturday took his second-straight win in the series in the two-lane pool in Tiburon, California, posting a 19.63 in the final to top George Bovell (19.74) for the victory and the $10,000 cash prize. On a turnaround of just about half-an-hour, that's a pretty speedy time (he swam an earlier heat than Bovell, so got a few extra minutes of rest).
Schneider got off of the blocks very well, commanding a half-body-length lead as the two-headed for the turn. Bovell, though, got into and out of the wall to leave the pair dead-even coming home. Schneider, though, with a perfectly-timed final lunge, to take the victory.
Though Schneider earned the title and the prize money, Bovell still had the best time of the day with a pool record of 19.39 from the first round, where he easily bettered Spain's Javier Noriega.
Anthony Ervin put up an outstanding 19.6 in the first heat, and was in position to final until Bovell's amazing swim in the final heat.
Also in the prelims, despite being at the very beginning of the college season Cal's Tom Shields swam a 20.4. That's a personal best for the last-second fill-in for Ricky Berens, who got ill and had to pull out at the last-minute.
Fred Bousquet was a 19.78, Nick Brunelli was a 20.01, and Jimmy Feigen was a 20.1.
In the women's race, Arianna Vanderpool-Wallace put up a 22.2 in the preliminary heats to earn the right to face Rowdy Gaines in the final of the Battle of the Sexes. She and Cal post-grad Liv Jensen (22.4) had the two fastest times of the preliminary rounds.
In that final, AVW hung with the legendary Gaines up until the turn, but Rowdy on fresh legs had a phenomenal breakout and pulled away to win 21.98-22.33.
Other results for the women include a tie in heat 3 from Dana Vollmer and Lara Jackson in 22.7, and Kara Lynn Joyce bested Emily Silver 23.0-23.5.
Gaines' speed into his mid-50′s is amazing, and speaks to the level of training that he has maintained for so long. By comparison, in the legends race between Matt Biondi and Tom Jager, two swimmers 5 years Gaines' junior, we saw only 23′s.
That race was another phenomenal finish, though. When these two were in their primes, Matt Biondi twice topped Tom Jager at the Olympics. Here in Tiburon, though, 20 years later, it was Jager who got the better of the pair with a 23.11 to Biondi's 23.18.
Check out the event channel for all of the action, including the open water mile coverage which will begin at 8:55 Pacific time on Sunday. Also, check back shortly for video of the men's 50 free final.

Two-Time Gold Medalist Brad Snyder to Carry Flag at Closing Ceremonies
Lieutenant Brad Snyder, who won a pair of Paralympic gold medals within a year of losing his sight, will carry the American flag at the closing ceremonies of the 2012 Paralympic Games in London on Sunday evening.
Snyder, who won the S11 100 free and 400 free, and also took a silver in the 50 free, over the last 10 days, culminating with that 400 free gold a year to the date of the IED explosion in Afghanistan that took his sight.
“To be able to come out here and to keep in the fight and keep going and keep inspiring, and keep perpetuating some goodwill for our country means a lot. And to be able to carry that flag for my team (tomorrow)… that's probably the best thing to come away from this experience,” Snyder said of the honor.
Snyder was able to cross-over into the major media circles better than any other American Olympian at these games, because his story combined a political hot-button topic with Paralympic success. The American swimmers combined for 41 medals, 14 of them gold, to place 4th in the overall medal table.
