Day 6 Heat Sheets
Day 6 Early Heats – 1650 Free Heat Sheets
There are only a handful of noteworthy scratches left for the final day of the 2025 SEC Championships, and most of them were already known because of event limits.
Bella Sims, who won the 100 back on Friday in a new SEC Record, chose the 200 back over the 100 free for Saturday. She is the top seed in the 200 back and would have been the 2nd seed in the 100 free behind Tennessee’s Camille Spink, who is also having a big meet.
That’s probably the safer bet for Sims, as she is the top seed by 2.4 seconds. Besides the 100 back, she also finished 3rd in the 200 IM earlier in the meet, though she was about two seconds shy of her best time.
Sims will still likely swim a 100 free as part of Florida’s 400 free relay on Saturday.
The rest of the notable scratches are from swimmers who have already reached their individual event limits:
- Campbell Stoll of Texas dropped the 200 back as the #11 seed. She finished 2nd in the 200 IM, 3rd in the 400 IM, and 2nd in the 200 fly earlier in the meet.
- Luca Urlando of Georgia dropped the 200 back as the #3 seed. He finished 6th in the 200 back, 2nd in the 100 fly, and 1st in the 200 fly in a new Meet Record earlier in the week.
- Rex Maurer of Texas dropped the 200 back as the #4 seed. He won the 500 free, won the 400 IM in a new Meet Record, and will race as the top seed in the 1650 free on Saturday evening.
- Emma Sticklen of Texas dropped the 100 free as the #6 seed. She won the 200 IM, won the 100 fly, and won the 200 fly in a new SEC Record, just missing the NCAA Records by .01 seconds.

Amateur hour with the stream this morning. Can we show the correct names for the current heat and not the names from previous heats please?
sims or curzan will get the ncaa records tonight or maybe both
Looks like TX – FLA – TN – UGA order of finish in both the MEN’S and WOMEN’S meets – It has been awesome to follow and watch. My favorite race thus far has been Mona “Riverdancing” McSharry winning the 100 breast by .01 – The luck and skill of the Irish!
