After killing it in the 100 fly and back, Regan Smith’s 200s were both much slower than expected. Interesting times to come.

 

Also Claire Curzan who allegedly did the “backstroke sweep” in Doha misses the team altogether

 US Olympic Trials: Day 7

 

Finals:

 

Men's 50m Freestyle (OQT: 21.96)

1. Caeleb Dressel - 21.41 Q 

2. Chris Guiliano - 21.69 Q

3. Matt King - 21.70

4. Jack Alexy - 21.76

5. Michael Andrew - 21.81

6. Ryan Held - 21.85

7. Quintin McCarty - 21.97

8. Adam Chaney - 22.08

 

Dressel is back! Alexy 4th . Guiliano becomes the 1st American man since Biondi in 1988 to qualify individually in the 50m, 100m, and 200m freestyle events. He just beats out Matt King by 0.01 seconds. What a meet he's having. With Both Dressel and Guiliano doubling up here, all of the male 2nd place finishers have now officially qualified for the Olympic Team.

 

Women's 200m Backstroke (OQT: 2:10.39)

1. Regan Smith - 2:05.16 Q

2. Phoebe Bacon - 2:06.27 Q

3. Claire Curzan - 2:06.34

4. Kennedy Noble - 2:07.52

5. Rhyan White - 2:07.64

6. Katie Grimes - 2:07.72

7. Isabelle Stadden - 2:08.77

8. Teagan O'Dell - 2:0.21

 

Once again, Smith slower than expected. She was noticeably more than a second slower on the last 50m compared to her other splits. Should be a fun showdown in a month between her and McKeown. Curzan finishes 3rd . She was in second at the 150m but was passed by Bacon who beat her out by 0.07 seconds. Gutsy swim by Bacon to take the 2nd spot when many didn't predict her to qualify.

 

Men's 200m Individual Medley (OQT: 1:57.94)

1. Carson Foster - 1:55.65 Q

2. Shaine Casas - 1:55.83 Q 

3. Kieran Smith - 1:56.97

4. Chase Kalisz - 1:57.17

5. Owen McDonald - 1:57.51

6. Arsenio Bustos - 1:58.26

7. Grant House - 1:58.35

8. Will Modglin - 1:58.44

 

Shaine Casas has developed a reputation of not being able to swim in the highest pressure meets but that didn't happen tonight. He delivered the swim of his life here to qualify for his 1st Olympic Team. Really happy for the guy. He had a great celebration after the race and was visibly emotional. For Foster, this marks a new PB for him. With Foster doubling up, Ryan Held was also officially qualified for the Olympic Team after his 5th place finish in the 100m freestyle. His time in that event is at a higher percentage above the OQT than Curry in the 200m freestyle.

 

Semi-finals:

 

Advancing to Men's 100m Butterfly Final:

1. Caeleb Dressel - 50.79

2. Dare Rose - 51.11

3. Zach Harting - 51.16

4. Ryan Murphy - 51.43 

5. Aiden Hayes - 51.50

6. Luke Miller - 51.53

7. Thomas Heilman - 51.58

8. Kaii Winkler - 51.64

 

Dressel and Rose look solid. Heilman a bit slower than expected.

 

Advancing to Women's 200m Individual Medley Final:

1. Kate Douglass - 2:08.53

2. Alex Walsh - 2:08.74

3. Beata Nelson - 2:10.83

4. Leah Hayes - 2:10.93

5. Zoe Dixon - 2:11.64

6. Lucy Bell - 2:12.23

7. Isabel Ivey - 2:12.26

8. Lilla Bognar - 2:12.33

 

Torri Huske finished 3rd in 2:09.74 but scratched the final to focus on the 50m freestyle. Would be shocking if it wasn't a Douglass and Walsh 1-2.

If Casas' reaction after securing his spot is anything to go by those past misses must have hurt a lot but you'd have never known because he always seemed so indifferent. Lesson to not judge a book by its cover I guess.

Question for the Italian users,

 

I'm seeing that no Italian met the 400 free standard at the Sette Colli or any of the other qualifying competitions. However, there's 4 guys that have the OQT in the qualification period. Would those spots get filled or will they be left empty? Maybe Ragaini gets one of the spots since he's already qualified for the 200 free?
