2025 CANADIAN SWIMMING TRIALS

Day 6 Prelims Heat Sheet

The top seed in the men’s 200 Free, Alexander Axon, has withdrawn from the event. The 2024 Paris Olympian has also withdrawn from this evening’s 800 free. Axon, who last  swam collegiately for OSU in Feburary has not recorded as splash this week as he also withdrew from the 400 free.

Fellow top 8 seed in the 800 free Jordi Vilchez (#8) has also withdrawn in order to better prepare for the 200, where he now will be the 9th seed. Patrick Hussey, too, is dropping an event to focus on the 200 free, as he has been scratched up to the top seed. Hussey was the 8th seed in the 50 fly, but has opted not to swim the double.

The women’s 1500 final heat tonight was hit hard as #2 Abby Dunford, #3 Julia Stronjnowska, and #8 Delphine Piatera Mercier all withdrew

No, she said last night her meet was done other than doing a practice double today. She didn’t race – they must have missed the scratch deadline.
