Day 3 Prelims Heat Sheet
The fifth seed in the Men’s 400 IM, Kieran Smith, has scratched out of the event. Smith, who trains with the Florida Gators, finished 6th in last night’s 200 free, and while he could book a spot to Singapore as a reserve on the 4×200 free relay, with the addition of the 50s of stroke and the change in priorities, its much harder than it once was.
Smith, who anchored the silver medal winning 4×200 free in Paris last Summer, still has the 400 free, where he is seeded 2nd, and the 200 IM where he is the 3rd seed on his schedule.
Smith wasn’t the only fifth seed to drop an event today as Lucy Bell (5th – 400 IM) and Kate Douglass (5th – 50 Breast) also scratched. Bell, the NCAA champion in the 200 breast, finished 7th in that final last night, an event which Douglass won. Douglass, for her part, has opted out of the 50 breaststroke this morning after having added another individual event to her line-up courtesy of her 2nd place finish in the 50 butterfly.
After having pulled off a come-from-behind win the 200 fly, Bell’s Stanford teammate, Caroline Bricker has opted not to swim the 100 fly. Instead, Bricker will look to a second event to her Singapore schedule as she is now seeded 7th in the 400 IM, an event which she won at NCAAs and coincidentally beating this morning’s top three seeds.

Ooh a tie to kick off the day! Gotta love it.
Is MA really doing 3 events? No way he does the 100 fly right?
I’ve always thought that his would-have-been 100 fly from 2021 Trials would’ve been the best swim of his career if he hadn’t scratched it.
He is not in 100fly
Heat 7 Lane 6, he may not swim it, but he is in it
It appears that Maximus is done competing? I hope he didn’t give up after his 100 time.
I’m surprised he wasn’t entered in the 200 IM
He is on the psyche sheet for 200 IM. If you mean the 400 IM, he hasn’t swum that in a couple years.
Meet Mobile doesn’t have him entered in any further events. It looks like he scratched the rest of the meet
Seeded 52nd in 100 back, 9th in 200 IM and 37th in 50 free
Done? Retired.
Thought Regan had scratched the 100 fly when I saw that title
She may not be having a great meet but she rarely scratches.
I had to use a picture of Kieran Smith for that reason because adding a K. in the title would have been over the character limit.
What’s funny is that I thought she scratched 50 back after last night .
