Chloe Sutton tweeted today that she would be pulling out of the rest of the Santa Clara Grand Prix due to an illness. She finished 13th in the 1500m freestyle last night. Her final time was 17:08.48 which is significantly off of her best time by more than a minute. This morning she was entered in the 100 freestyle and the 400 freestyle. She was a no-show in the 100 freestyle, and ended up finishing 46th in the 400 freestyle with a 4:24.93. That time was 20 seconds off her best time.
Chloe Sutton was seeded top 8 in three different events this weekend.
“I tried to push through, but I’m too sick to be racing. I’m calling it a meet and heading home to get healthy. <3” – @csutswim
Natalie Coughlin will also be out of the meet this weekend. She tweeted back to Universal Sports and other fans letting them know that she would be scratching this weekend in order to recover after her last two weeks of racing in Europe.
Coughlin had a very light line up scheduled for this weekend, she was only entered in the 5o and 100 freestyles.
