			<description><![CDATA[It was a really tough night here at the trials for ex-Wolverine Davis Tarwater, whose third-place finish in the 200 butterfly effectively ended his swimming career. Hard to put that in words, and, understandably, Davis didn't even try afterward. He was too devastated, especially after a race that]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I'm looking out my window at a very quiet Hayward Field, with the only noise heard anywhere is coming from a leaf blower in the distance. Trust me, that's a big change from the past few days, where Hayward's been as loud as a rock concert with a couple hundred leaf blowers thrown in.

			<description><![CDATA[Another great night for the Club Wolverine crew here at the Olympic swimming trials. 
A 1-2 finish in the men's 200 freestyle with Michael Phelps and Peter Vanderkaay was made even better when Erik Vendt dug deep and finished sixth, effectively grabbing the last spot on the 800-freestyle relay]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Barely 12 hours after fans in Omaha witnessed two world-record performances on the opening night of the U.S. Olympic swimming trials, they were treated to two more Monday morning. In the same event. In prelims. 
So, yes, I think it's safe to say the suits are making a difference. 
It only took a]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Today's first heats are in the books at the U.S. Olympic swimming trials, and three Michigan men advanced to the finals. Michael Phelps wasn't thrilled with his prelim in the 400 IM, but he'll get a chance to redeem himself against rival Ryan Lochte in tonight's final.

			<description><![CDATA[ Lovely territory here on the campus of the University of Oregon. They've gone all out for the track trials and they certainly have the facilities to host an event of this size. The Hayward field complex, a storied venue, is now one of the most technologically advanced in the country. It has a]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Why Omaha? That's a fair question to ask on the eve of these U.S. Olympic swimming trials, and the answer is pretty simple: Mutual of Omaha is a big USA Swimming sponsor. 
Actually, the test event they held here three weeks ago played to rave reviews, too: the Qwest Center's a relatively new venue]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ The U.S Tennis Association (aka the USTA) has named the players for Beijing. Barring injury, and that is a real factor with some of these players, this is who you will see on the women's side: Serena Williams, Venus Williams, Lindsay Davenport and doubles specialist Liezel Huber.

			<description><![CDATA[ I've received a few emails overnight and this morning about Chauncey Billups' decision to drop out of consideration for the Beijing Olympic team. Some of you see conspiracies, some of you wonder about his health, and one even questioned his patriotism.
