The U.S. International Team Trials continues with the Day 3 finals from Greensboro Aquatic Center.
With World Championship spots on the line, and the records that fell during prelims, it should be an exciting session of fast swimming.
The International Team Trials session consists of the 400 IM, the 100 butterfly, the 50 breaststroke and the 50 backstroke.
The women’s 400 IM kicks off the International Team Trials session with Leah Hayes in Lane 4, surrounded by Olympians Emma Weyant and Katie Grimes, with Hali Flickinger looming in Land 2.
The men’s 400 IM follows with the Foster brothers next to each other in Land 5 and 6. They will be surrounded by Chase Kalisz and Jay Litherland, who made the Olympic team in this event.
The women’s 100 butterfly will be another showdown between Torri Huske and Claire Curzan. Kelsi Dahlia and Kate Douglass will look to crash the party.
In the men’s 100 butterfly, Caeleb Dressel was in dominant fashion in the prelims, while Michael Andrew, Trenton Julian and Luca Urlando will aim for a worlds spot.
The women’s 50 breaststroke will be a showdown between Lilly King, Lydia Jacoby and Kaitlyn Dobler, while the men’s race looks to be between Nic Fink, Michael Andrew and Brandon Fischer.
The 50 backstroke is loaded on the women’s side at the International Team Trials. Regan Smith broke the U.S. Open record during prelims (27.40) and it might take another record-setting swim to win with Katharine Berkoff, Olivia Smoliga and Rhyan White in the mix.
For the men, Michael Andrew is in his third final of the night, but the race looks to be between Hunter Armstrong, who broke the American record with a 24.01 in prelims. Shaine Casas, Ryan Murphy and Justin Ress look to be in the mix as well.
After a record-setting prelims, the International Team Trials finals session looks to be on pace for more special performances.
