 US Olympic Trials: Day 3

 

Finals:

 

Women's 400m Individual Medley (OQT: 4:38.53):

1. Katie Grimes - 4:35.00 Q

2. Emma Weyant - 4:35.56 Q?

3. Lilla Bognar - 4:37.86

4. Leah Smith - 4:39.87

5. Leah Hayes - 4:41.32

6. Lucy Bell - 4:41.40

7. Zoe Dixon - 4:42.01

8. Audrey Derivaux - 4:46.89

 

2nd Olympics for both women. 4:35.00 seems a bit slow for Grimes only further cementing McIntosh as the big favourite in this event.

 

Men's 200m Freestyle (OQT: 1:46.26)

1. Luke Hobson - 1:44.89 Q

2. Chris Guiliano - 1:45.38 Q

3. Drew Kibler - 1:45.60 q

4. Kieran Smith - 1:45.61 q

5. Brooks Curry - 1:45.89 q?

6. Blake Pieroni - 1:46.09 q?

7. Jake Mitchell - 1:46.48

8. Aaron Shackell - 1:47.37

 

Good swim by Hobson to go sub 1:45. Chris Guiliano continues his breakout and comes out of nowhere to get the 2nd individual spot. Kibler and Smith also will be part of the relay. Smith would probably be disappointed with that swim after having the fastest time in semis yesterday. Curry and Pieroni will have to wait until later in the week to find out if they've made the team.

 

Men's 100m Backstroke (OQT: 53.74)

1. Ryan Murphy - 52.22 Q

2. Hunter Armstrong - 52.72 Q?

3. Jack Aikins - 52.74

4. Adam Chaney - 53.44

5. Justin Ress - 53.57

6. Will Modglin - 53.69

7. Jack Wilkening - 53.79

8. Tommy Janton - 53.87

 

To no one's surprise, Murphy and Armstrong qualify. However, Jack Aikins almost managed to beat out Armstrong just missing by 0.02 seconds. He'll have a good shot to qualify in the 200 back though. These are the 3rd Olympics for Murphy and the 2nd for Armstrong.

 

Women's 100m Breaststroke (OQT: 1:06.79)

1. Lilly King - 1:05.43

2. Emma Weber - 1:06.10 

3. Lydia Jacoby - 1:06.37

4. Kaitlyn Dobler - 1:06.77

5. Kaelyn Gridley - 1:07.03

6. Alex Walsh - 1:07.38

7. McKenzie Siroky - 1:07.71

8. Ella Nelson - 1:07.83

 

In one of the biggest surprises of the meet so far, Lydia Jacoby will not be defending her gold medal from Tokyo. In an even bigger surprise, it's Emma Weber (and not Kaitln Dobler like some predicted) who out touched her for 2nd. Lilly King continued her dominance swimming in her home state of Indiana.

 

Women's 200m Freestyle (OQT: 1:57.26)

1. Katie Ledecky - 1:55.22 Q

2. Claire Weinstein - 1:56.18 Q

3. Paige Madden - 1:56.36 q

4. Erin Gemmell - 1:56.75 q

5. Anna Peplowski - 1:57.04 q?

6. Alex Shackell - 1:57.05 q?

7. Simone Manuel - 1:57.13

8. Katie Grimes - 1:57.33

 

3rd straight year that Ledecky and Weinstein go 1 and 2 at US trials. It remains to be seen whether or not she'll swim this individually which would mean that Paige Madden would get a 2nd individual swim if she doesn't. Erin Gemmell also qualifies for the relay. This has significance because her father used to coach Katie Ledecky. Peplowski and Shackell will have to wait.

 

Semi-finals:

 

Advancing to Women's 100m Backstroke Final:

1. Regan Smith - 57.47 (American Record) 

2. Katharine Berkoff - 57.83 

3. Josephine Fuller - 58.79

3. Kennedy Noble - 58.79

5. Rhyan White - 59.08

5. Claire Curzan - 59.08

7. Leah Shackley - 59.25

8. Phoebe Bacon - 59.33

 

Regan Smith is clearly in the form of her life right now. Berkoff also becomes the 5th woman in history to go under 58 seconds. Those two will be the favourites heading into tomorrow's final. However, the rest of the times are also insane for a domestic field. 59.33 is arguably faster than what it'll take to final at the Olympics.

0.28 away from Zhanle’s WR.

Are we really on course for around 300 universality places or will they get filtered somehow?

47.33 for  Maxime Grousset in the men’s 100m freestyle at the French Olympic Trials, for a new PB!
