- Psych Sheet
Editor’s note: we’ve had a few questions about different notations on the psych sheets. An asterisk (*) before a swimmer’s name indicates they are an international swimmer. A dollar sign ($) after a swimmer’s name means that they are an adult member of USA Swimming who has not completed their athlete protection training as required by the US Center for Safe Sport.
The psych sheets for the 2019 Phillips 66 National Championships have been officially released. The championships are to begin 3 days after the FINA World Championships held in Gwangju, South Korea. In 2017, the US Nationals meet was the meet that determined who would go to the World championships roughly 2 weeks after. However, swimmers have done the Worlds/Nationals double before.
There are many Worlds team members entered on the psych sheets, however, it won’t be guaranteed they show up. Here’s the list of Worlds swimmers entered into Nationals:
- Abbey Weitzeil
- Abrahm DeVine
- Allison Schmitt
- Ally McHugh
- Ashley Twichell
- Brooke Forde
- Caeleb Dressel
- Ella Eastin
- Gabby DeLoof
- Grant Shoults
- Haley Anderson
- Hali Flickinger
- Jack Conger
- Jack LeVant
- Justin Wright
- Katie Drabot
- Kelsi Dahlia
- Mallory Comerford
- Olivia Smoliga
- Regan Smith
- Zane Grothe
Among the other highlights, Ryan Lochte will be returning to competition as his suspension has officially ended. He is entered in the 200 free, 100 back, 100 fly, and 200/400 IM. Another name quietly entered is Dana Vollmer, who only is scheduled to swim the 100 fly. She is seeded with a 59.27 in 17th place.
Also entered is 17-year-old phenom Luca Urlando, who just missed qualifying for the 2018 Pan Pacs/2019 Worlds team. Urlando is entered in the 100/200 fly, 200/400 free, and 200 IM. His best time in the 200 fly would have placed 2nd at the World Championships. 30-year-old comeback swimmer Brandon Fischer is also in attendance after his breakout breaststroke swims in Clovis that put him back on track and bumped his national/historical rankings.
Not only Americans are here, many Commonwealth swimmers will also be in attendance. Great Britain swimmers Anna Hopkin and Scott McLay will be venturing to the United States after their Worlds bout. Aussies Elijah Winnington and Jenna Strauch will lead a group from Australia (and Scot Hannah Miley are getting a taper swim under their belts after failing to qualify for Worlds this year.
Besides those mentioned above, expect most of the big name Americans who didn’t compete at Worlds to be there as well, including the Foster brothers, the Walsh sisters, Tom Shields, and Erica Brown.
Kieran Smith is going to have a breakout meet.
I swear if Ryan gets himself banned right before a meet like this again…
King should go. To have a shot at a tapered 200
I don’t think you know how tapering works
AJ pouch has a broken wrist so he won’t be swimming here.
Yikes… well wishes to a semi-regular SS commentor (Pouch) for a speedy recovery.
Any chance king can enter last minute for the 200
And Ledecky? – It’s at Stanford
KL should take a real break. If she tries to swim this meet someone should lose her car keys for her, accidentally lock her in her apartment, tear her caps, steal her goggles, melt her suits in the dryer, give her the wrong start time, distract her with free tickets to Aruba, IDK just make sure she can not find a pool for a couple of weeks!
I agree. Let her go spend time with her family away from the pool. She has certainly earned a break.
Dressel 100 breast.. interesting..
Big ups to Brandon Fischer. Beefcake is in your corner!
His best 100yd in college was 54.1. His best 100m now converts to two seconds under that!
Ryan Lochte is back. Too many events old man. He can compete 1-2 events very good level just like Laszlo Cech in Gwangju 2019. Laszlo was 10th place 200IM. Ryan 200IM,400IM was good last year.
Bro you know where he trains right
