Making a statement from the B-final of the 100 free was Caeleb Dressel, who despite missing out on $1,500 prize money swam a 48.71 for the 2nd-fastest time in the world this year. Also making a surprise from the B-finals was Kathleen Baker, who swam a 1:08.50. She later won the 50 back with the #1 time in the world just minutes after her breast race.

Chinese teens Bingjie Li and Jianjiahe Wang took the 400 free by storm to post the #2 and #3 times in the world behind Katie Ledecky. Shortly after, Zane Grothe held off Knoxville champion Anton Ipsen for the win.
