Watch our @MMartinelli4 get supremely humbled while racing against Team USA 3-time Olympian @ryan_f_murphy. He did backstroke, she did freestyle, and you can guess who won…

Covered this game. Was on the sideline with @MMartinelli4 when the play happened. Pretty sure @joerexrode was in a sling from our State News-Daily alumni game the night before.
