Santo Condorelli snuck in one last swim last weekend among local junior standouts and some visitors from neighboring states before departing for the U.S. World Championships staging camp in Phuket, Thailand.

Condorelli swam just one race, the 50 free prelims, where he posted a 22.19. The swim came exactly three weeks before he is scheduled to race the heats of the 50 free at the World Championships

Condorelli, who has represented Italy and Canada at the World Championships, qualified for his first U.S. international team with a 21.68 in the 50 free at US Nationals, placing 2nd in the event behind Jack Alexy. That swim was his lifetime best. While his time last weekend was half-a-second slower than that, outside of the US National Championships, it’s the second-best time he’s raced in the last 16 months or so, after only the 22.13 he did on June 20 at the Urbanchek Invitational.

Condorelli wasn’t the only big name at the meet. U.S. National Teamer Josh Brown, who trains with the Sandpipers of Nevada, won two races. An open water specialist, Brown races for the University of Michigan in the NCAA.

Last weekend, he won the 400 free (3:54.62), just three-tenths shy of his lifetime best; the 800 free he won in 8:05.39, 1.5 seconds shy of his best; and finished 5th in the 400 IM in a best time of 4:28.71, which is an 11 second improvement on his best time. That’s a great sign for his upcoming collegiate season: he finished 26th in the 400 yard IM at the 2025 Big Ten Championships and out of the points. Next year will be his senior season at Michigan.

On the women’s side of the meet, another U.S. National Teamer Isabelle Odgers competed and won all three of her events. She topped the 100 breast in 1:09.25, the 200 breast in 2:29.35, and 200 IM in 2:13.23. Odgers just completed her collegiate eligibility at USC.

Other Highlight Swims

• U.S. Junior National Team member Kayla Han won three individual events at the meet. She won the 200 free in 2:00.29, the 800 free in 8:44.35, and 2:12.88 in the 200 fly. That 200 fly is not one of the four events in which she qualified for the Junior National Team in, but it’s a 2.14 second improvement. That ranks her 7th among 17-year-old Americans this season. She added a best time in the 200 IM, another race where she’s not on the Junior National Team. Her 2:14.69 is the 2nd-ranked time by a 17-year-old American so far this season.
• 19-year-old Mexican swimmer David Medina, who trains with the Rosarito Nadadores in his home country, finished 2nd in the 400 free behind Brown in 3:55.79, a new lifetime best. Gian Santos from Irvine Novaquatics was 3rd, .01 seconds back.
• Alyssa Ton from Irvine NovAquatics swam 2:00.66 in the 200 free, finishing 2nd behind Han. That knocks .28 seconds off her previous best time. This follows a big short course season, where on her 16th birthday in May she swam 1:44 in the 200 yard free.
• 47-year-old Gabby Rose, who has represented both the U.S. and Brazil internationally, won the 100 breast in 1:09.49. She was the oldest competitor at the 2024 U.S. Olympic Trials.
