Eva Merrell Scratches 100 Fly Heats on Day 5 of Junior Worlds

6th FINA World Junior Swimming Championships

All members of Sunday morning’s circle-seeded heats (top 24 athletes for 50s and 100s; top 16 for 200s and 400s) are expected to report to their respective heats and lanes, with one exception: USA’s Eva Merrell, the number 4 seed in the women’s 100 fly, does not appear on the start list. It was Merrell’s only individual event at World Junior Swimming Championships.

In the women’s 4×100 free, neither Turkey nor Great Britain will field a relay team in Sunday’s heats.

Since Emma Carlton is showing as Team USA second spot it is safe to say she is out on medical. You can’t just replace unless there is a medical issue. Must have been declared and sorted between entry book posting and First day.

Is she injured? This summer has been no news from her. If so, quick recovery soon. She is an awesome swimmer.
