Psych sheets for the 2019 TYR Pro Swim Series in Bloomington have been released. This meet will be the fourth of five spots on this year’s TYR Pro Swim Series as meets have already been completed in Knoxville, Des Moines and Richmond and will be May 16-19. Nathan Adrian is notably making his first appearance in a competition after being diagnosed with testicular cancer January 24.
Adrian’s PET scans came back clean April 22 and said he will be under “close surveillance” and will be having lots of doctor appointments and scans over the next several years. Adrian was diagnosed with testicular cancer on January 25 and underwent surgery to remove some of his lymph nodes on January 29. Adrian quickly made a return to the weight room on February 4 and has been in good spirits throughout this whole process.
Adrian is also listed on the roster for the World Championships team this summer as well as the Pan American Games.
There will be other big names in attendance in Bloomington, Indiana May 16-19 with Indiana pros Lilly King, Cody Miller and Blake Pieroni on the psych sheets. The Stanford pros will also be bringing a good group of swimmers to the meet including Katie Ledecky, Simone Manuel, Abrahm DeVine and Ella Eastin. They will also be bringing a couple of the college kids over including Taylor Ruck, Katie Drabot and Brooke Forde.
Madisyn Cox and Regan Smith will also be in attendance at the meet in Indiana as well as Worlds team members Michael Andrew and Mallory Comerford.
A couple big name swimmers will also be at the meet after having successful NCAA meets including Beata Nelson, the swimmer of the meet, and 1650 champion Ally McHugh, who recently made the move to Madison to train with the Badgers. Big Ten freshman of the year Maggie MacNeil will be swimming a couple events along with Michigan grad Siobhan Haughey, who brought Michigan its first third place NCAA finish in two decades.
