Griffin Schaetzle will be a sophomore swimmer next year at Missouri. He took 40th in the 200-meter backstroke at the U.S. Olympic Trials. He is joining The Maneater staff as an athlete columnist.
It’s hard to forget entering what could perhaps be the greatest swimming facility in the country: the CenturyLink Center in Omaha, Nebraska. The 17,560-seat arena is breathtaking. As I walked inside for the first time, bright lights lit up the pool. Scanning around more I saw stands that were bigger than I could have imagined at a pool.
It’s no wonder the facility is so magnificent.
