U.S. Olympic Trials: Women’s 100 Back and Men’s 800 Free Finals on Night Four (Heat Sheet)
New U.S. Olympians will be selected in the finals of the women’s 100 backstroke and men’s 800 freestyle Tuesday evening at the U.S. Olympic Trials in Indianapolis, a session that will also include semifinals of the men’s 100 freestyle, men’s 200 butterfly, women’s 100 freestyle and men’s 200 breaststroke.

The men’s 100 free semis begin the session, with Chris Guiliano and Jack Alexy in lane four in their respective semifinal heats after enormous prelims swims. But all eyes will be on Caeleb Dressel as he continues his comeback to top form. Dressel races next to Alexy in the second semifinal. Then, the men’s 200 fly will look for a jump in speed after a sluggish prelims round. Luca Urlando highlights semifinal one while Dare Rose and Thomas Heilman join Mason Laur in the second heat.
The first of two finals will see Regan Smith continuing to chase a world record in the 100 back after she lowered the American record (which was just weeks old) in the semis. Smith will be next to Katharine Berkoff, who became the fourth woman ever to break 58 in the semis. Kennedy Noble and Josephine Fuller also went sub-59 Monday night.
Bobby Finke tries to secure his spot on his second Olympic team in the men’s 800 free, but teenager Luke Whitlock is actually the top seed after an impressive prelims round. Whitlock was also the top seed in the 400 free final before finishing fifth, but he is better at this distance. Other contenders include Ross Dant, Will Gallant and Charlie Clark, who was scratched into the final after initially missing out Monday morning.
Two more semifinals conclude the night. Abbey Weitzeil is in lane four for the first semifinal of the women’s 100 free, with Torri Huske alongside her. Kate Douglass, Simone Manuel and Gretchen Walsh have the next heat. And in the men’s 200 breast semis, AJ Pouch will try to back up his stunning prelims swim in the second semifinal with 2023 World Championships bronze medalist Matt Fallon one lane over. The previous heat includes 100 breast qualifiers Nic Fink and Charlie Swanson along with 2023 Worlds finalist Josh Matheny.
