... that 2012 Olympic swimmer Davis Tarwater broke a record previous held by Michael Phelps?

In a surprising turn of events, Tarwater has been added to the US Olympic team. As such I shave modified the originally blurb, but strongly suggest using

ALT1: ... that after the US Olympic Trials swimmer Davis Tarwater (pictured) announced his retirement and headed home before realizing he had qualified for the 2012 Olympics?

instead. I also am requesting the blurb he held for use during the Olympics. Tarwater will be swimming on July 31. --ThaddeusB (talk) 07:01, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

I love the second hook and support holding this for July 31. Also, once the Olympics are out of the way you might want to look to putting this up for GA (as then you'll have the Olympic information to add to it). Miyagawa (talk) 11:00, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. I still have more work to do on it, but I am hoping to bring it to GA standard. :) --ThaddeusB (talk) 02:40, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

A great picture (IMO) is now available. I have adjusted the blurb accordingly. --ThaddeusB (talk) 00:29, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
