During the most recent stop of the 2023 Pro Swim Series in Mission Viejo, California, there were a total of 160 swims getting under 2024 US Olympic Trials qualifying times. Of those times, 91 came on the men’s side and 79 were from the women’s side of the competition, including times from international competitors.
Out of those that hit the qualifying times over the weekend, 18 of the swims on the men’s side came from international swimmers, with 1 coming from Puerto Rico’s Jarod Arroyo (who is neither ‘international’ in a geopolitical sense, nor eligible for the US Olympic Trials). Only 6 swims on the women’s side came from international swimmers.
Several of the qualifying times marked new cuts for swimmers in certain events, 41 new cuts were earned on the men’s side, led by Texas Longhorn David Johnston, who picked up 4 new trials cuts over the weekend. Like many other NCAA swimmers, Johnston hasn’t had much opportunity to compete in the long course pool and pick-up the Olympic Trials qualifying standards. However, he made the most of his first opportunity to do so, getting under the qualifying times in the 400 IM, 400 Freestyle, 800 Freestyle, and 1500 Freestyle.
Destin Lasco, Jake Foster, and Gabriel Jett are other NCAA swimmers who managed to hit new trials cuts in Mission Viejo.
On the women’s side, 43 new cuts were made, with Stanford swimmers Torri Huske and Claire Curzan leading the way. Huske hit cuts in the 50 freestyle, 100 freestyle, 200 freestyle, and 100 butterfly, while Curzan managed to get under the qualifying standards in the 50 freestyle, 100 freestyle, 100 backstroke, 200 backstroke, and 100 butterfly.
Rhyan White, Kelly Pash, and Isabelle Stadden also hit new Trials cuts shortly after their collegiate seasons ended.
Out of all of the swimmers who hit Trials cuts this weekend, 14-year-old Kayla Han was the youngest swimmer in the group. Han, who was the youngest swimmer to qualify for the 2021 US Olympic Trials at 12-years-old, hit new qualifying times for the 800 and 1500 freestyle. She was already qualified for Olympic Trials via the 400 IM and 400 Freestyle. On the men’s side, 16-year-old Maximus Williamson was the youngest swimmer to hit a qualifying time, swimming under the standard in the 200 IM for the first time.

How many eligible US Olympic Trials cuts are there so far (maybe a better question for the end of August)?
More relevant questions, how many events are there where the US does not have at least two eligible 2023 FINA A cuts? and how many events are there where the US does not have at least two eligible 2024 Paris OQT cuts?
cant wait to see Abigail Weitzel in the 50 free next month. She’s on a tear.
If I’m not mistaken, Katie Grimes leads the way with the most trial cuts to date:
W 200 FR
W 400 FR
W 800 FR
W 1500 FR
W 100 BK
W 200 BK
W 200 FL
W 200 IM
W 400 IM
Katie Grimes will probably focus on her 6 best events at the Trials.
W 200 FR
W 400 FR
W 800 FR
W 1500 FR
W 400 IM
W 200 FL
For the 2023 Phillips 66 National Championships, the hypothetical schedule for Katie Grimes:
Day 1 – W 800 FR
Day 2 – W 200 FR
Day 3 – W 400 IM
Day 4 – W 400 FR
Day 5 – W 1500 FR
As for Day 2, Katie Grimes has a better shot at top six in the W 200 FR than top two in the W 200 BK.
People really should check order of events and consider total workload before they throw stuff out. Just because o swimmer can doesn’t mean they should or will.
If you checked the order of events yourself, that event schedule actually works out great. Those events would equate to only one double with over an hour b/w events.
Oh really. 200 free final and 400 IM final are same session. 1500 final and 2 fly semi are same session.
You are also looking at 14 swims if she made all the finals. Ron is smarter than that.
We are clearly talking about the TRIALS for Worlds…doesn’t mean she swims them all at worlds. Sandpipers historically swim lots of events at the trial meets.
You should have clarified between the 2023 Phillips 66 National Championships which doubles as the 2023 USA Swimming International Team Trials and the 2024 USA Swimming Olympic Team Trials. Yet, posters complain about long form.
I was talking about Olympic Trials since that’s what the article is about. Yawn for World Trials.
Katie Grimes is going to attempt to swim the W 200 FL and the W 800 FR on Day 1 of the 2023 Phillips 66 National Championships? Good luck with that.
https://www.usaswimming.org/event/2023/06/27/default-calendar/Phillips-66-National-Championships
she’s going to be exciting to watch. She’s chasing that 4:30 mark in the 4 IM.
I would like to see Katie Grimes regain her form in the W 800 FR when she finished 4th at the Tokyo 2021 Olympics.
I might be wrong about whether some of these were in the qualification period, but I believe Bella Sims is at least tied with her and probably will pass her (she should be capable of all of those time cuts, plus the 100 Free and the 100 Fly). I don’t think she has the 2IM at the moment, though
Katie Grimes is a smidge away from adding the W 100 FL to the list.
Katie Grimes personal best time in the 100 butterfly actually comes from her opening split in the 400 IM at the World Championships last summer — 1:00.22
