Lane 2 - Omaha.com posts "Californian hoping past close shaves pay off. Tyler Clary is one of the best swimmers in America you've never heard of. And when you learn who his main competition has been, you'll see why. During the 2008 Olympic swimming trials in Omaha, Clary placed just out of Olympic bids in both the 400 individual medley and 200 backstroke. In the back, he lost to Aaron Peirsol, who may well be the best swimmer ever in that stroke, and Ryan Lochte, arguably the fastest swimmer in the world today. In the IM, the guys who grabbed the Olympic spots were Lochte and a guy named Michael Phelps."
