Raab added 4.8 seconds in the 400 IM and 0.8 second in the 100 fly this morning, and will contest neither event in finals.

Long Gutierrez of California Aquatics (53.99) scratched the consols of the men’s 100 fly after finishing 13th in heats. Mateo Gonzalez of Texas A&M thus moves into tonight’s B final; his 54.23 in prelims put him 17th overall for the morning.
