Thursday evening heat sheets

Alexa McDevitt from Bellevue Club Swim Team and Raya Mellott from Crow Canyon Sharks have pulled out of the bonus “C” final of the 200 IM. While McDevitt has another event tonight (she is 9th in the 500 free and will swim in the “B” final), Mellott scratched out altogether after adding more than 2 seconds to her entry time in prelims.

In the boys’ 200 IM, Lakeside’s Max Hatcher (1:49.07), who placed 18th, and Glacier Swim Club’s PJ Foy (1:49.47), who was 25th, both have other finals tonight and will not swim the IM. Hatcher is the 8th qualifier in the A final of the 500 free, while Foy is 8th in the A final of the 50 free.

Evolution Racing’s Daniel Verdolaga, who was 26th this morning with 1:49.48, will move into the C final.

In the 50 free, Maggie Wanezek from Elmbrook Swim Club (#24 with 23.26) scratched the girls’ C final and Rose Bowl’s Logan Noguchi (#20 with 20.49) dropped the boys’ C final. Both are in the A finals of the 200 IM tonight.
