U.S. Nationals are just a few weeks away in Indianapolis, with the Americans selecting their World Champs and World University Games teams for later this summer. We’ve gotten started with our yearly event-by-event previews, and now we’re compiling them all in one place.

2017 U.S. Nationals Picks & Previews
Click the event name to follow the link to its full preview. We’ll also list the swimmers who would likely qualify for the World Championships if our picks turn out – that’s the top two in each Olympic-distance event, the winners of the non-Olympic events (the 50 fly, back and breast along with the men’s 800 free and women’s 1500 free, which are still considered non-Olympic events by USA Swimming for Worlds selection) and the top 6 in the 100 and 200 frees.

May not be the place to say this, but I think it’ll be Adrian and Ervin in that 50 free.
Dressel and Adrain for me
I’d be surprised if anyone upset them in the 100, but I think Adrian is too good on race day to let Dressel beat him.
for me too . I think Ervin is not in his 2016 form . Dressel is !!!! and Adrian is always dangerously fast
Ervin wasn’t really big in 2016 till Trials. A 21.7 may suffice.
i was talking about Rio dude , so chill out .
As much as Ervin was “on form” in Rio, Manaudou, Fratus, and Adrian were not. Timing is everything, and Ervin knows how to rise to the occasion better than any male not named Phelps. He won’t do nearly as well at Trials, which is fine.
Yeah he really rose to the occasion in London where he got 5th.
Adrian and Dressel. As an older swimmer, Ervin might not be able to be consistent consecutive years.
Adrian should stop resting for every other meet.
He isn’t?? He’s just consistent
48 low in season, 47.8 at the Olympics.
what you’re saying makes no sense mate
I am saying that Adrian seems too relatively fast to his best times in season. Save all that hard work you put in to a bank, don’t spend it on little things, save it for your goal.
Very few sprinters the last few cycles do their best times at the Olympics.
There are also stories of Adrian popping out 48’s in practice at the OTC in altitude. There are some swimmers who just may not need to taper, while others are huge taper swimmers.
Does the men’s 1500 only have one spot as well?
PVSFree – no, but the men’s 800 would follow that rule.
McHugh is one to watch….12th seed in the 400 IM
