Junior Pan Pacs, Day 3 Prelims: Charlotte Crush After 100 Fly Mark; Leah Shackley Pulls Double

Charlotte Crush put a prelims scare into the Junior Pan Pacs record in the 100 butterfly, while Leah Shackley is safely through in two events in the third day of prelims at the meet in Canberra.

Crush led the field in the girls 100 butterfly with a time of 58.55. She’ll be hunting the meet record of 58.38 set in 2018 by Maggie Mac Neil of Canada, who three years later would become the Olympic champion in the event. Crush has been 58.45.

Second in that race was Shackley, who went 59.09. She has been 57.98.

Shackley, who set the meet record in the 100 back, returned later in the session to take the top time in the 200 back in 2:09.63. She’ll face a battle from Teagan O’Dell in that one in the night session in Canberra.

The prelims recap:

Girls 400 freestyle

Kennedi Dobson led the way for the U.S. in 4:1.79. That makes her the top seed in finals, though the field will likely be chasing Madi Mintenko, who went 4:11.01 for second in prelims. She held the top time entering the meet in 4:07.53. Mintenko won silver in the 200 free.

Canada’s Ella Crosgrove was a distant third in 4:16.82, just ahead of countrywoman Julia Strojnowska.

The third-fastest time of the morning was American Kayla Han in 4:12.64, though she’s locked out of the final by the limit of two per nation.
