So far this meet, we have seen a plethora of meet and pool records over the last three days, and we have already seen a new meet and pool record in prelims with Jack Alexy‘s 47.66 in the 100 free to earn the top qualifying spot.
Simone Manuel leads Kate Douglass and Gretchen Walsh in the women’s 100 freestyle after swimming a massive 200 freestyle yesterday to earn the event win.
Summer McIntosh will take on the women’s 200 fly final in the last event of the meet as she tries to break Regan Smith‘s U.S. Open and meet record, and takes another shot at the World Record in the event.
Smith will be in the event as well, though she is coming off a rough 200 back/200 fly double that could affect her performance in both. She is the 2nd seed in both with Phoebe Bacon coming in ahead of her in the 200 backstroke.
The men’s 200 fly final will see Hubert Kos and Ilya Kharun battling for the top spot, as Kos holds the top seed by more than half-a-second, but will also be contesting the 200 backstroke double. Kharun is doing a double as well, though his top seed in the 50 fly is not quite as challenging as another 200 of stroke.
Leon Marchand will also be racing in the 200 fly final, coming in as the 4th seed behind Kos, Kharun, and Texas’ Cooper Lucas.
Mila Nikanorov is the top seed in the women’s 800 while Bobby Finke leads the men’s, but Finke has been off at this meet and could drop behind 2nd seed Aiden Hammer or 3rd seed Ilia Sibirtsev.
Gretchen Walsh will be racing a double, coming in as the top seed in the women’s 50 fly with her 25.43 from prelims seeding her more than a second ahead of the rest of the field.
Kate Douglass and Noah Cakir hold the top seeds in the men’s and women’s 200 breaststroke events, both coming in about half-a-second ahead of 2nd seeds Mona McSharry and AJ Pouch.

At halfway, Mijatovic was 3:52.42 to turn nearly two seconds ahead of Sibirtsev (3:54.30) and Foster (3:54.88)
Mijatovic’s final time of 7:48.28 was a new 15-16 National Age Group Record in the event, shattering down Larsen Jensen’s 23-year-old record of 7:52.05 from 2002. HE also moves up to become the 12th fastest performer in American History.
Uzbekistan’s Ilia Sibirtsev finished 2nd in 7:51.85, maintaining his position through the entire race.
Indiana’s Luke Whitlock came back really strong to make up a three second deficit to Carson Foster at the 400 meter mark, splitting 3:57.21 on the 2nd 400 to Foster’s 4:00.63, to touch in 3rd overall at 7:54.66

This swim marked Kelly’s first ever time under 2:10, and it was a near two second drop from the 2:11.81 he swam in June of 2024 that was his best time coming in.
Kelly graduated in May, but after he had a very strong NCAA senior season, he decided to make the move to Texas and swim with the pro group there. This is his first meet back since the 2025 NCAA Championships, and he has gone personal best times in all three distances of breaststroke.
Cakir swam 2:11.38 to finish 2nd, also a best time by more than a second, dropping from the 2:12.91 he swam last December. Indiana’s Josh Matheny was 3rd in 2:11.98

She came home strong, splitting 27.57, the fastest closing 50 split in the field to pass Walsh and pick up her 2nd event win of the meet.
Walsh was 53.76 for 2nd and Douglass was 53.82 for 3rd.
Indiana freshman Liberty Clark continues to drop time, swimming 54.01 to drop four tenths from the 54.41 she swam at the end of July.

Alexy led from start to finish, splitting 22.47 on the 1st 50 to turn more than two tenths ahead of Guiliano’s 22.68. He also had the fastest closing split in the field in 24.93, which was two hundredths faster than Guiliano’s 24.95.

His final time of 1:52.57 was about a second off his lifetime best 1:51.21 that he swam to win the Olympic Gold medal in 2024, but he won the event by more than three seconds over Kharun’s 1:55.71 for 2nd.
Marchand was in 2nd at the 50 meter mark, turning in 24.91 to sit about five hundredths behind Hubert Kos‘s 24.86. He took over the lead at the 100, splitting 28.84 and 53.74 to come in nearly half-a-second ahead of Kos’s 54.28. Kharun sat back in 4th, splitting 55.13 on his first 100.

Kos finished 3rd in 1:56.01, and Jett was 4th in 1:56.16.

Yeah so pretty much shout out Eli Martin.
The Toyota U.S. Open Championships is nothing more than a glorified Pro Swim Series in name only.
None of top college stars even bothered to participate:
Curzan, C.
Grimes, K.
Huske, T.
Sims, B.
Weinstein, C.
What’s that saying about races and who shows up?
Was there prize money for this meet? It’d be nice to see USA Swimming give athletes more opportunities to earn prize purses at domestic meets. Seems like a great opportunity & it adds some extra fun to the meet.
Why do you think the likes of K. Berkoff, K. Douglass, L. King, R. Smith, A. Walsh, G. Walsh dropped the 2024 Toyota U.S. Open Championships like a hot potato for the 2024 Short Course World Championships (25 m)? Toss in K. Grimes and C. Weinstein for good measure and it proves the Toyota U.S. Open Championships is a joke.
Americas vs Europe, 4×200 medley relay. Who wins?
Kos back milak fly marchand breast and popovici free, would.not even be close
If Milak has retired, you can put Marchand on Fly and Corbeau on Breast and still smoke the Americas team
In regard to the male contigent of USA Swimming, you seriously overrate the men’s 100 meter backstroke and men’s 100 meter breaststroke.
US women would win
That’s a no brainer even without L. King.
USA vs Europe vs Asia vs Commonwealth?
European men and Commonwealth women both win handily
Commonwealth is a continent?
I had wondered if Marchand (and Bowman) would bother to make any attempt at lowering his 200 Fly time, since that Olympic 1:51.2 is insanely fast. I’m so happy he competed this race this weekend. It is great to see that 1:52.57. Hopefully that means he’s still interested in attempting to go faster. It would be so cool to see him sneak under 1:51
You would think they have their sights on 1:49 as their real target. There’s a lot of daylight between 4:02.5 and 3:59.9, I’m sure Bowman would think training towards 1:49 as a way to get them to a 3:59.
i think Kos said in an interview that he thought Leon was going to break 4 WRs in Paris, so I’m sure they felt all were in play
He could break the 200im and 400im as those records are already him. The 200 breast is most likely as he went 2:05 in the final of an insane double (after prelimins, semis and a fight against milak). The 200 fly seens the hardest one for leon to beat
I am hoping Marchand will break that 200 Breast WR. I was slightly disappointed he didn’t swim it at all in 2025, due to how close he was to that WR. Although, I can see why he prioritized the 200IM, since he was even closer to that one. He should have had that one at the Olympics.
That Milak WR seems so strong. That is such a crazy time.
I heard Kos say that, but I can’t believe anyone thought Marchand could break Milak’s 200 Fly record. That 1:51.21 was a monster PB for Marchand. Of course, I didn’t think he would beat Milak at all in that race, so clearly I was wrong.
Marchand should definitely be able to lower his own 400IM WR. His backstroke alone has significantly improved, even since the 2023 WR swim.
In 200M backstroke, Kos has a 1:54.21 in December, after swimming a bunch of SCM about two months ago. He did a 1:53.19 at the WC. What would it realistically take for him to break that supersuit record? Would it take something like what Lukas Märtens did with that 400M record? Just kill yourself going superhuman fast over the first 3/4 and then hold on for dear life on the last lap?
Is this part of why Bob has him working on 50M and 100M Backstroke sprint speed?
I really want this supersuit record broken, and Kos has such beautiful technique. How close to it can he get in the 2.5 years before the Olympics?
Before the Olympics idk, but he’ll go 1:52 low there
Final 2025 50 Fly LC standings:
Top athletes in the world right now: Shohei Ohtani, Nikola Jokic, Simone Biles, Drake Maye, Summer McIntosh
No Sinner, Alcaraz, Mbappe, Vini Jr or Dembele? I can go with the other 4 as contenders but Drake Maye? Seriously? Come back when the playoffs are over – but he would have to have won Super Bowl MVP to even be in the conversation. If you have to have an NFL player go with Mahomes or Allen.
If France does not win the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the answer is negative to K. Mbappe.
I’ll add in McLaughlin-Levrone and Marchand as way ahead of Maye.
I’m partial to L. Jamal.
Vini junior, may as well throw in MA atp 💀
Vini is better than Drake Maye. MA, probably not!
Drake Maye
Can tell you’re a Yank
Drake Maye?
Come back to me when the New England Patriots win the Super Bowl.
A’ja Wilson hands down over Nikola Jokic, it’s not even close.
Only know Simonr Biles and Summer McIntosh.
Lol. OK caveman
LOL!
At least Nikola Jokic competed at the Summer Olympics.
Not really, I know Mbappe, Haarland, Lamine, Yamal, Sinner, Alcaraz, Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIiroy, McLaughlin-Levrone, Tadej Pogacar, as some of the top athletes on the planet.
Ohtani – Japanese baseball superstar for the LA Dodgers. Both a pitcher and a hitter – unheard of since Babe Ruth. Jokic – Serbian basketball star for Denver Nuggets, 3 x NBA MVP. Maye – quarterback for New England Patriots. Having a good year in NFL, but it’s basically his first good year.
Thanks.
Drake maye! Ha!
It’s a complete joke.
Never heard of Ohtani or Maye. Tadej Pogačar belongs in any top list.
Who dat??
Maybe an NFL PLAYER?
Bro thought he could sneak in drake maye
