GOLD COAST, Australia, August 23. Although Michael Phelps, Ryan Lochte and Tyler Clary set up some dramatic scenarios in the men’s 200-meter IM tonight, Australia’s sprint star Cate Campbell stole the show with a meet record in the 50 free this morning.

In one of the oddest situations you can find in the sport, Japan’s Shogo Takeda began to swim the 800 freestyle by himself as both Matt McLean and Will Brothers did not swim in the first heat of the timed final event. However, a technical issue with the timing system malfunctioning during the race caused officials to stop the race. Officials stopped the lonesome Takeda about 125 meters into his swim, then postponed his heat until the end of prelims. Odd, odd way to start the day.
Takeda returned at the end of the session with an 8:01.53 in his one-man swim.

Women’s 200 IM
No one went particularly blazing fast this morning, but plenty of jockeying happened to set up the championship finale tonight with the U.S. owning the top two qualifying spots out of prelims.
Maya DiRado (2:11.16) edged teammate Caitlin Leverenz (2:11.23) in the third heat of qualifying as the two will swim in the center lanes tonight in finals. DiRado is eighth in the world with a 2:10.57 from Nationals, while Leverenz ranks 13th with a 2:11.05 also from Nationals.
Japan’s Kanako Watanabe raced into third with a 2:11.74, short of her 10th-ranked 2:10.65 from the NSW State Championships, while Australia’s Alicia Coutts qualified fourth in 2:11.95 and will need a lot more speed to match her third-ranked 2:08.89 from Australian Nationals.
Japan’s Rika Omoyo (6th, 2:12.53), China’s Zhou Min (7th, 2:12.96), Australia’s Emily Seebohm (11th, 2:13.58) and Canada’s Erika Seltenreich-Hodgson (15th, 2:14.73) also made the A final due to the two-per-country rule. Seebohm is the defending champion, and could put on a show tonight as well.
USA’s Melanie Margalis was the top swimmer bumped out of the A final with a fifth-place 2:12.25.

The Japanese contingent showed off some serious speed this morning with Kosuke Hagino (1:57.61) and Daiya Seto (1:58.02) finishing 1-2 in qualifying. Hagino is the top-ranked swimmer in the world with a 1:55.38 from Japanese Nationals, while Seto is fourth in the world with a 1:57.32 from the Canet stop of the Mare Nostrum circuit.
The U.S. then went 3-4-5 with the surprise being that Ryan Lochte will be bumped to the B final with a fifth-ranked 1:59.09 even though he’s ranked second in the world with a 1:56.50 from Nationals. Tyler Clary, currently ninth in the rankings with a 1:57.94, took third in 1:58.70, while Michael Phelps placed fourth in 1:58.95 as he will look to replicate his third-ranked 1:56.55 from Nationals.
Unless both Clary and Phelps are able to beat Lochte tonight and clear his 1:56.50 from Nationals, he is still looking safe for the 2015 World roster spot, but there is always a chance with the unorthodox selection setup that happens at this point in the quadrennium plan each cycle. That also means that Lochte finishes the meet with just one individual medal as he picked up silver in the 100 fly but did not make the 2015 Worlds roster in that event.
Brazil’s Thiago Pereira (8th, 2:00.44), New Zealand’s Mitchell Donaldson (12th, 2:01.45). Australia’s Travis Mahoney (13th, 2:01.50) and South Africa’s Michael Meyer (14th, 2:01.80) were the beneficiaries of the two-per-country that pushed a bunch of Japanese and American swimmers out of second swims.

The record-streak continued as every single session of the Pan Pacific Championships has featured a meet record occur so far. Australia’s Cate Campbell eased up on the finish, but still managed to lead the heats with a smoking time of 24.35. That performance downed the previous meet record of 24.63 that Jessica Hardy clocked in 2010 to win the event. Campbell definitely has more in the tank as she’s currently ranked third in the world with a 24.00 from the Commonwealth Games.
Campbell’s sister Bronte raced her way to second in 24.67 as the Campbell sisters continued to be one of the most amazing sister tandems ever in the sport of swimming. Melanie Schlanger made it a 1-2-3 for the Aussies with a 24.87, but will be relegated to the B final due to the two-per-country rule.
USA’s Simone Manuel was the top American with a 24.97. She will be looking to better her ninth-ranked 24.56 from Nationals if she hopes to have any chance of challenging for the title.
Brazil’s Etiene Medeiros (5th, 24.99), Brazil’s Graciele Herrmann (6th, 25.01), USA’s Ivy Martin (7th, 25.18), Canada’s Chantal Van Landeghem (9th, 25.22) and Canada’s Michelle Williams (14th, 25.54) also will compete in the A final.
Hardy, the defending champion and 100 breast winner earlier this week, continued to struggle with her freestyle as she placed 12th overall in 25.37 and missed finals altogether.

California’s post-grad sprint group certainly had a nice morning as Anthony Ervin (21.75) and Nathan Adrian (21.76) went 1-2, just off Adrian’s Pan Pacific Championship record of 21.55 from 2010. Both have been faster this year as Ervin (21.55) and Adrian (21.66) will be looking to turn it up a notch during finals.
Brazil’s Bruno Fratus, the second-ranked swimmer in the world with a 21.45 from the Maria Lenk Trophy meet, finally gets his chance to swim against those top California guys after Adrian scratched the 50 free at the Santa Clara stop of the Arena Grand Prix. Fratus and Adrian were set to swim in the A final, but Adrian scratched after a morning swim.
Brazil’s Marcelo Chierighini (22.21), Australia’s Cameron McEvoy (22.27) and Australia’s Matt Abood (22.30) also made the A final.
Japan’s Shinri Shioura (8th, 22.39) and Katsumi Nakamura (9th, 22.47) each moved up a spot with USA’s Jimmy Feigen (7th, 22.38) being relegated due to the two-per-country rule.

Women’s 200 breast
Similar to the men’s 200-meter IM, Japan had an outstanding morning in the women’s 200-meter breaststroke with Rie Kaneto (2:23.18) and Kanako Watanabe (2:23.44) going 1-2 in qualifying. Watanabe (2:21.09) and Kaneto (2:21.58) rank 2-3 in the world this year behind only Rikke Moeller Pedersen’s 2:19.61, and should make some serious noise in the finale tonight.
Canada’s Kierra Smith (2:24.02), USA’s Breeja Larson (2:24.50), USA’s Micah Lawrence (2:24.70), Australia’s Taylor McKeown (2:25.16) and Canada’s Martha McCabe (2:26.12) finished third through seventh, while Sally Hunter of Australia (2:26.44) will leapfrog Japan’s Mio Motegi (2:26.22) into the A final due to the two-per-country rule.

Men’s 200 breast
Team USA went 1-2 in qualifying this morning as Nic Fink (2:09.64) and Kevin Cordes (2:10.01) posted the top times of the morning. Fink just missed his 11th-ranked season best of 2:09.62, while Cordes just wanted to put up a legal swim to make the A final, well off his fourth-ranked season best of 2:07.86 from Nationals.
Cordes continued his spate of bad luck at international meets as he drew a disqualification in the 100 breaststroke when he lost his cap and goggles during the turn, and broke his stroke by grabbing his goggles. He also was part of an early relay takeoff along with Matt Grevers at the 2013 World Championships that cost the Americans the gold in the 400 medley relay.
Japan’s Yasuhiro Koseki (3rd, 2:10.43), Japan’s Naoya Tomita (5th, 2:11.98), Canada’s Richard Funk (7th, 2:12.50), Brazil’s Tales Cerdeira (8th, 2:12.93), New Zealand’s Glenn Snyders (9th, 2:13.77) and Brazil’s Simon Thiago (10th, 2:14.20) will comprise the rest of the championship finale due to the two-per-country rule.
