Bermudez will be second heading into tonight’s final as Adriano Arioti (Harvard commit) swam a 1:43.70 this morning, about half a second off his best. Kyle Peck, a Texas commit, had a 0.26 second drop this morning to be third heading into tonight’s final as he swam a 1:44.22.

Buff has the top seed by over half a second as Chase Swearingen (Kentucky commit) swam a 21.45. Kris Lawson (Navy commit) rounds out the top three with a 21.70, but is only 0.01 seconds ahead of Nolan Dunkel who swam a 21.71 this morning.

Emma Kern, also a Texas commit, swam a 24.47 to be third heading into finals.
I remember when Seliskar? went like a 20.69 or something 50 fly while he was in high school and it was like a super big deal lol
Might’ve been Anthony Grimm? May be thinking of his 50 back though, equally as impressive IIRC.
No he was thinking of Seli going the time he said. Not a separate guy going a different time in a different event 7 years later.
