Andrew Wilson was right on world record pace for 150 meters before he fell off over the last 50 in the prelims of the 200 breaststroke at the 2017 Phillips 66 USA Swimming National Championships. Wilson swam a 2:08.64 to snag the top seed in front of four 2:09’s that are all within a tenth of each other. Wilson’s time is now seventh in the world for 2017.
Nic Fink (2:09.25), Josh Prenot (2:09.27), Will Licon (2:09.29) and Kevin Cordes (2:09.35) are all within striking distance of the lead here as all five of those swimmers looked strong and have a lot left. Cordes and Fink will be looking for their third straight World Championship teams as the other three are searching for their first.
Jonathan Tybur (2:11.55), Jacob Montague (2:11.70) and Daniel Roy (2:11.92) will also swim in the A-final, but it is expected to be a huge race between the top five.
