200 breaststroke
The big shock of the morning was Caio Pumputis failing to make the A final, the Georgia Tech junior going 1:56.05 to finish 10th, missing the A final by .09 seconds. Ananais Pouch of Virginia Tech dropped more than three seconds to grab the top seed. But the favorite to win his fifth breaststroke title in three years is Evgenii Somov of Louisville, who won the 100 breast. He’s the second seed in 1:54.36. Keefer Barnum of Virginia is third, .01 back.

200 butterfly
It’s Nick Albiero’s race to lose. The Louisville junior is out front by 1.5 seconds in prelims, but the guy chasing him is not short on confidence, IM double-winner Ted Schubert of Virginia (1:42.09). Zach Brown of NC State is third.
