There are very few scratches for Wednesday morning’s prelims session in Indy, though at least one is extremely noteworthy. Texas star breaststroker Lydia Jacoby has scratched the women’s 200 breast today. Jacoby was the fourth seed coming into the meet, entering with a seed time of 2:24.03.
The defending Olympic gold medalist in the 100 breast, Jacoby has seen tremendous improvement in her 200 breast since joining Texas last fall. With her absence in the event tomorrow morning, the path is now even more clear for Lilly King, Kate Douglass, and Annie Lazor, the three swimmers seeded ahead of Jacoby.
Jacoby was only entered in the 50, 100, and 200 breast at these Trials. While she wasn’t facing an overly strenuous schedule in the first place, it’s possible Jacoby made the determination that she would be better off trying to stay as fresh as possible for the 100 breast on Friday.
The men’s 200 breast saw 14th seed Ben Dillard out of USC scratch the event. Dillard was entered with a 2:13.16. The 200 breast was the only event Dillard was entered in, so he won’t be competing at all this week in Indianapolis.
Of course, Kaii Winkler is dealing with an injury and has pulled out of the meet, so he won’t be racing in the men’s 200 free on Wednesday morning. Winkler was the 23rd seed in the event.
OTHER DAY TWO PRELIMS SCRATCHES
- Carly Novelline – women’s 200 back (39th seed)

I don’t want Foster/Licon to make the team in the 2BR, I NEED them to make the team in the 2BR!
Nic Fink?
Uh oh…hope shes alright
She’s probs fine, just knows she won’t beat King and Douglass in the 2Breast.
I was really looking forward to her 200, I hope she’s not sick or anything and is just concentrating on the 100
Please Swim Gods, let Foster and Licon make the team for the men’s 200m breaststroke. PLEASE
« Ow hell nah » – Nic Fink
but muh pickems!?/1
They are already blown to hell
Nothing is blown to hell if everybody’s are blown to hell. It’s reset at lower point expectancy.
Relativity does nothing to soothe the self.
Watch the ND fans who put Guiliano making the team winning the whole contest
Haha not even ND fans had him in their top 4. Not a single person.
Usually I have to pay extra for that
