I’m definitely not doing a full one. I’ll probably try and do something for the PSU guys at least though

U20’s are just more fun than U23’s! I’m glad we are actually sending a good lineup this year. The past U23 teams have been pretty bad.

USAW has made a concerted effort to field a better team.

In 2019, Bo Nickal was the only US free medalist and they took 10th as a team. In 2021 Cassiopi won it and Aiello took Bronze on the way to a 7th place finish. A career backup at Iowa, Myles Wilson, was on the team.

2025 had multiple National Champions on the team as the US cruised to a team win.
