BARCELONA, Spain — Missy Franklin can’t wait to head to college.

Boy, will she have some stories to tell the other freshmen.

And a lot of gold to show off.

With one last swim at the world championships, Franklin stamped her name in the record book and joined a club that is even more exclusive.

Before Sunday, the only swimmers to win six events at either a worlds or an Olympics were Michael Phelps, Mark Spitz, Ian Thorpe and Kristin Otto.

Now, there’s Franklin, who earned her sixth by swimming the leadoff leg for the U.S. in the 400-meter medley relay, the final event of the championships in Barcelona.
