Nathan Adrian

A victory over Michael Phelps in a ripped swimsuit at the Indianapolis Grand Prix allowed Adrian to break onto the national stage, even if he was a bit exposed. Maybe the top American sprinter, Adrian currently holds the top time in both the 50- and 100-meter freestyle. An alternate on the 2008 4x100 relay, Adrian could be the marquee American swimmer of the 2012 Olympics.
