Thursday Prelims Heat Sheet

The 2024 Speedo Atlanta Classic is set to continue with the first prelims session of the meet. Among the scratch notices from the women’s and men’s 100 free, 100 breast, 200 fly, and 400 free, not many impactful top-8 scratches were found.

Arkansas’ Alessia Ferraguti scratched out her No. 3 seed in the women’s 100 breast (1:08.51). At the same time, Florida’s Adam Chaney scratched out of the 100 free, where he was seeded 10th at 49.29.

Jack Dahlgren of Team Triumph also opted out his 13th seed in the 100 free (49.58) in favor of the 200 fly. There, he is seeded third with a FINA A cut entry time of 1:55.72 behind Florida’s Mason Laur (1:55.67) and top seed Martin Espernberger (1:55.01).

Meanwhile, Florida’s Caeleb Dressel at the moment is still entered in both the 100 free and 100 breast. In the freestyle, Dressel sits in third at 48.40, just above the FINA A cut of 48.34. For his non-primary stroke, breaststroke, Dressel sits outside of A-final contention in 11th at 1:02.00, just under the U.S. Olympic Trials cut.
