Last weekend, swimmers got in a final tuneup for U.S. World Championships Trials at a handful of meets across the country. To give a comparison of times across all of the meets, we’ve compiled the top 8 times in each event. This is our men’s version only. The women’s version will be published shortly.
**NOTE: These lists are made up only of times done at the Santa Clara PSS, Charlotte UltraSwim, Bucceto Open, Namesnik Invitational, and Southwest Classic. This is not a list of the fastest times for the entire season. The 50 fly, 50 back, and 50 breast are not included because they were not swum at all meets**
Shoutout to commenter B1G DADDY, who helped compile the top 6 in each men’s race.

Zane Grothe and Blake Pieroni are doing great so far – watch for them at Trials – those guys might be on that relay and more …..
Michael Chadwick is also improving well ( 22.22 – 48.66 ) and might well be dangerous comes Trails as well .
What about Clark Smith’s time of 8.02.xx. He swam for the 800 time, got out of the pool in the middle of the 1500 free
It doesn’t count, as he was DQed in that race.
His 800 would have counted had he completed the rest of his race, even if at leisurely pace.
Shield’s prelim 2 fly from Santa Clara is missing
You left out Tom Shields prelims time for the 200 fly.
Interesting results! BTW Felix did a 15:20 in the 1500 at Namesnik, also the order for 200m free is wrong between him and Pieroni.
Felix Aubeock went a 15:20 in the 1500 at Namesnik.
Koski 400 free- 3:53.36 in C final
NCSU’s Held and Ress are missing from the 100 free. They were in the B final, and Held was 49.69 for 9th and Ress was 49.81 for 10th.
Corrected. Thanks. Missed the B final when I was looking at that one.
