Yesterday, the men continued with a string of dazzling performances. Sophomore Michael Im, Wrenshall, Shaw and Kurmakov teamed up for a win in the 200 medley relay, and Wriede smoked the field in the 200-yard backstroke in 1:50.46 and repeated with a win in the 200 individual medley (1:53.96). Kurmakov sprinted to a very respectable 21.02 victory in the 50 freestyle...

There is a sense on the IM field that people need to prove something--to overcome the stigma...
