Not, OQT is mandatory during the championship (and also a top 2 finish)

She can have an entry on the individual event to free a relay-only spot if needed. BRazil did / will do this withMarcelo Chierighini on 100m free M

57.91 for Katharine Berkoff, likely will be a battle between her and Masse for bronze assuming she makes the Olympic team.

Jorge IGA  1:46.32 in 200m freestyle in prelims today at CCCAN championships. Only .06 of the OQT, and currently second in line for a OCT quota.

There’s something special in that stadium. Best ticket in the country. Two WRs and the meet is just halfway through.
 

Cannot wait to see the US women’s medley team in action.

Sadly, no.

Very poor coverage, only photos from the resulta at CCCAN FB page.

 US Olympic Trials: Day 4

 

Finals:

 

Women's 100m Backstroke (OQT: 59.99)

1. Regan Smith - 57.13 Q (WR)  

2. Katharine Berkoff - 57.91 Q?

3. Kennedy Noble - 58.81

4. Josephine Fuller - 59.03

5. Rhyan White - 59.07

6. Phoebe Bacon - 59.37

7. Leah Shackley - 59.40

8. Claire Curzan - 59.57

 

Will be interesting to see how McKeown responds. Should be a fun battle between those two in Paris. Also will likely be a fun battle between Berkoff and Masse for bronze. On another note, Claire Curzan is in big trouble to make the Olympic Team.

 

Men's 800m Freestyle (OQT: 7:51.65)

1. Bobby Finke - 7:44.22 Q

2. Luke Whitlock - 7:45.19

3. Daniel Matheson - 7:49.34

4. David Johnston - 7:50.23

5. Ross Dant - 7:54.56

6. Charlie Clark - 7:57.28

7. Will Gallant - 7:58.22

8. Sean Green - 7:59.01

 

Easy qualification for him. 7:44 is an okay time for him. Big swim for the 18 year old Whitlock to grab second taking 5 seconds off of his PB.

 

Semi-finals:

 

Advancing to Men's 100m Freestyle Final:

1. Chris Guiliano - 47.25

2. Jack Alexy - 47.33

3. Caeleb Dressel - 47.53

4. Hunter Armstrong - 47.59

5. Destin Lasco - 47.90

6. Macguire McDuff - 48.04

7. Ryan Held - 49.05

8. Matt King - 48.11

 

Needing 48.11 to make the final is crazy. Alexy and Guiliano look like the clear favourites. There's a good chance Dressel won't get to defend his title from Tokyo but he looks like he'll comfortably qualify for the relay.

 

Advancing to Men's 200m Butterfly Final:

1. Luca Urlando - 1:54.64

2. Thomas Heilman - 1:54.93

3. Mason Laur - 1:55.05

4. Dare Rose - 1:55.25

5. Jack Dahlgren - 1:55.65

6. Colby Mefford - 1:55.72

7. Zach Harting - 1:56.52

8. Trenton Julian - 1:56.73

 

That's two really good swims for Urlando today. Heilman also looked much better here after what looked like a rough morning swim. Notably Carson Foster scratched this event.

 

Advancing to Women's 100m Freestyle Final:

1. Torri Huske - 52.90

2. Simone Manuel - 53.16

3. Kate Douglass - 53.21

4. Gretchen Walsh - 53.33

5. Abbey Weitzeil - 53.66

6. Beata Nelson - 53.92

7. Catie DeLoof - 53.98

8. Erika Connolly - 53.92 (Won swimoff)

 

The top 5 are well ahead of the rest of the field. Will be interesting to see who grabs the 6th spot.

 

Advancing to Men's 200m Breaststroke Final:

1. Matt Fallon - 2:07.39

2. AJ Pouch - 2:08.00

3. Josh Matheny - 2:08.79

4. Jake Foster - 2:09.57

5. Daniel Roy - 2:09.65

6. Nic Fink - 2:09.80

7. Josh Bey - 2:11.09

8. Will Licon - 2:11.14

 

Fallon just missed the American Record by 0.22 seconds.

[Epic Failure 365]

Interesting to see Oleksiak and Harvey are entered in Sette Colli this weekend. Presumably trying to take care of the OQTs, as there doesn't seem to be a wider Canadian team out in force?
