Williams Graduate Lindsay Payne To Swim For Team USA In Japan

- August 08, 2007

Since graduating from Williams in 2006 as one of the most decorated swimmers in the Ephs long tradition of swimming excellence Lindsay Payne has continued her quest to compete at the highest level. She currently trains with the Trojan Swim Club in Los Angeles mornings and works for Eph alum Bill Simon '73 during the day.

Payne's dedication to her morning workouts paid off at the recent 2007 ConocoPhillips USA Swimming National Championships held in Indianapolis, IN, where Payne finished 9th in the 100 breaststroke.

"I was seeded 13th going into the meet with a 1:10.6," said Payne.

"After prelims I snuck into the consuls [consolation] heat with a 1:10.7 for 16th place," noted Payne. As she had done for four years at Williams, Payne rose to the occasion even though she was on the outside in lane 8.

"I was in lane 8 and I went out about a second faster than in the morning and won my heat finishing 9th overall with a 1:09.79," said Payne. This was the first time Payne had gone below 1:10.00.

Payne's time was better than the sixth place time at the ConocPhillips Championships in 2006 and that earned her a spot on Team USA and she will now compete at the 2007 Japan International Grand Prix in Chiba August 21st-24th.

In order to qualify for the Japan International Grand Prix, Payne had to finish 1:10.16 or better and she ended up clocking a 1:09.79, (nearly a full second faster than her morning prelim time).
