2008 Team USA Paralympic Swimming Results - 9 Sep AM Prelim Session

Following today’s prelimary rounds, 14 US swimmers will advance to finals. One event to watch will be the women’s 100m freestyle (S10), which will include three U.S. swimmers – Susan Beth Scott (Colorado Springs, Colo./Cape Girardeau, Mo.), Anna Eames (Golden Valley, Minn.) and Ashley Owens (Stockbridge, Ga.) – all vying for a spot on the podium. The trio is ranked two-three-four going into finals, with times of 1:02.93 (Scott), 1:03.58 (Eames) and 1:03.59 (Owens.) They will be challenging Katarzyna Pawlik (POL), who set a world record this morning with a time of 1:01.60.

“I feel great,” said Scott. “I’m gust going to focus on tonight, getting rest and recovering. This was a personal best by about two seconds. I haven’t been this fast since 2007.”

Eames and Owens will work to improve on their times during the finals: “I’m hoping to do better tonight. Hopefully I’ll come back stronger, and that’s all that counts,” said Eames. “I’m just going to do my best and go for it,” said Owens.
