U.S. International Team Trials: Day 2 Finals Heat Sheets
The U.S. International Team Trials continue with the Day 2 finals from the Greensboro Aquatic Center.
With spots at the World Championships on the line, swimmers will look to qualify.
The event lineup for the Day 2 finals consists of the women’s 200 freestyle, men’s 200 freestyle, women’s 200 breaststroke, men’s 200 breaststroke, women’s 200 backstroke, men’s 200 backstroke, women’s 50 butterfly and men’s 50 butterfly.
The A final for the 200 free is loaded with six Olympians, led by Katie Ledecky, who took the top seed in 1:56.20. Young guns Claire Weinstein and Erin Gemmell were among the top four seeds with Alex Walsh, while Olympians Leah Smith, Hali Flickinger, Bella Sims and Katie Grimes all made the final (while four former Olympians did not).
The men’s 200 free will see top-seed Carson Foster alongside fellow Texas teammate Drew Kibler, along with Cal’s Trenton Julian and Florida’s Kieran Smith .
In the women’s 200 breaststroke at the International Team Trials, Olympic gold medalist Lilly King has the top seed and will be flanked by NCAA champion Kate Douglass and fellow Olympian Annie Lazor.
The men’s 200 breaststroke will see Texas’ Jake Foster alongside Michigan’s Charlie Swanson and Olympian Nic Fink.
The women’s 200 backstroke saw three Olympians take the top three seeds with Phoebe Bacon, Rhyan White and Regan Smith. Should be an excellent final.
The men’s 200 backstroke saw Shaine Casas blast a 1:55.57. He will be flanked by Jack Aikins and Ryan Murphy.
The 50 butterfly will be an interesting showdown with Claire Curzan and Kelsi Dahlia, among others.
Michael Andrew took the top seed in the 50 butterfly and will be alongside Caeleb Dressel and Maxime Rooney, in what should be another fast showdown.
