The Psych Sheet was released for the Swimvitational. The meet starts on June 5th:

2008 Mutual of Omaha Swimvitational Psych Sheet

I'm ranked 15th in the 100 Back and 59th in the 50 Free. This meet certainly has some big names in it, however it seems like it's split 50/50 whether or not athletes want to experience the Olympic Trial pool before the actual Trials. I've heard theories arguing both sides. Some competitors might not want to swim a meet with less than a month before trials. Depending on their taper cycle and training, a meet this close could be distracting. On the other side, it could be very beneficial to experience a brand new facility before you're expected to have the best meet of your life there.

I'm just excited to see this facility! If you haven't read about it, they've basically emptied out the "Quest Center" (a large arena). They've built two temporary 50 meter pools to house the 2008 Olympic Trials.
