The 200 butterfly will kick of US Summer Nationals in Indianapolis on Tuesday morning. 2024 Olympic silver medalist in the event Regan Smith is the top seed with a 2:03.84, a time that she swam in Paris to set the American Record. Smith also is the US Open Record holder as she swam a 2:03.87 in June 2023 while at Arizona State during the Sun Devil Open.
Behind Smith is Alex Shackell, who also made the Olympic final in the event last summer as she was 6th in a 2:07.73. She enters with a 2:06.10, a time that she swam at US Olympic Trials last summer to earn her spot to Paris in the event. Fellow teenager Audrey Derivaux is the #4 seed with a 2:07.70 but has been as fast as a 2:06.43, a time that she swam a month ago at the Pro Series stop in Fort Lauderdale. Lindsay Looney is the #3 seed with a 2:07.03 and made the 2023 Worlds roster for the US in the event.
Olympian Luca Urlando is the top seed on the men’s side by over two seconds as he leads with a 1:52.37. He swam that lifetime best in April at the Pro Series stop in Sacramento. Urlando won the NCAA title in the SCY version of the event this past March and was 2nd in the event at US Trials last summer in a 1:55.08. He missed semifinals in Paris in a 1:56.18.
Thomas Heilman was the other Olympian in the event last summer and made semifinals finishing 10th in a 1:54.87. He has been as fast as 1:53.82, a time that he swam for 4th at 2023 Worlds, just missing the podium by 0.16 seconds. Carson Foster is the #5 seed in the event but notably did not swim the event at 2024 Olympic Trials. He made the US roster in 2023 finishing 6th at Worlds in a 1:54.74. His lifetime best stands from 2022 at a 1:53.67.

Walsh’s entry time notably came from a month ago as she swam a lifetime best at the Pro Series stop in Fort Lauderdale.
