Marta Ciesla (#1 FL, #20 Nat) visited Carol Capitani's group over the weekend, so was on deck to witness the Horns' historic upset victory over the Irish earlier today.

Ashley, Marta & Maggie @ [U]'SC[/U] today.
Ummm, hope this was just a courtesy visit on their part, just a temporary stop to warm up for the main event @ Berkeley next weekend, as we want all 3 of them!!!
[COLOR="#006699"]Well it does look like we won't be seeing
Marta @ Memorial Stadium this evening, as she's visiting the [U]Tenn Vols[/U] instead :cry:
[/COLOR]
Marta, with
Amanda Nunan (#1 NJ, #86 Nat)
[COLOR="#006699"]
So, guess we can scratch 3 of our major players off the list at this point -
Nikol (#1 CA, #8 Nat) -> [U]UT[/U] ...
Maggie (#1 NY, #5 Nat) -> [U]USC[/U] ... and now most likely
Marta, unless she's going to make a trip here at a later date.
That leaves
Lauren Pitzer (#1 TX, #6 Nat) &
Ashley Volpenhein (#1 OH, #18 Nat) as the remaining elite sprint specialists in the Top 20. Will they show up tonight or not...
Hmmm, any chances of
CollegeSwimming's Top 3,
Courtney Harnish (#1 PA, #1 Nat),
Brooke Forde (#1 KY, #2 Nat), or
Sierra Schmidt (#2 PA, #3 Nat), being interested in or being sought by the Bears, assuming the fit is right on both sides??
Or in-states
Grace Zhao (#2 CA, #12 Nat),
Alexis Margett (#3 CA, #22 Nat) &
Taylor Ault (#4 CA, #24 Nat)?
I would be happy to also see
Ashlyn Schoof (#1 WI, #14 Nat), and
Hannah Kukurugya (#1 IN, #21 Nat) or
Taylor Pike (#1 AR, #15 Nat) pose on the field prior to today's home opener!
Of course we all know whose appearances
tedbear's rooting for - the Canadians!
In the form of
Sarah Darcel (#1 BC, #9 Nat) &
Mary-Sophie Harvey (#1 QC, #28 Nat).
One who won't be materialising here, at least for the weekend, is
Olivia Anderson (#2 ON, #33 Nat), seeing that she was spotted @ Camp Randall Stadium an hour ago with
Cierra (still feels odd/confusing to see a former :bear: all decked out in [COLOR="#B22222"]
red[/COLOR] :bawl
. Olivia had visited [U]UGA[/U] last weekend.
Neither will we be seeing
Caitlin Tycz (#1 ME, #26 Nat) tonight, who was @ UVa last week but appears to be back in Maine today.
