Swimmers are gearing up for the 3rd and final prelims session of the 2017 Arena Pro Swim at Austin. This morning’s action will include the 200 fly, 100 breast, 100 back, and 200 IM. The women’s 800 free and men’s 1500 free heats will take place at the end of the session, but the top 8 seeded swimmers in each of those events will swim in finals only.
On the women’s side, Canada’s Penny Oleksiak is out of the 200 fly, where she was the 11th seed. Oleksiak was listed in the psych sheets for this meet, but opted to stay at home and sit this one out. In the 200 fly, #7 Isabella Rongione and #10 seed Sarah Darcel have scratched out of the 200 fly as well. Allie Raab (#3) and Tara-Lynn Nicholas (#5), who were both seeded in the top 8, have scratched out of the 100 breast. Top 8 seeds Joy Field (#4) and Gabriele Kopenski (#6) are out of the 800 free.
