Notably still on this morning’s heat sheets is Alex Shackell who also just finished up representing the US in Japan. The 100 fly, where she is the top seed, is her first event of the meet as she is also entered in the 200 free, 200 IM, and 50 free. Shackell swam on both the prelims and finals women’s 4×200 free relay that won silver.
#3 seed in the girls 100 fly Annika Parkhe has scratched. Parkhe was entered in six events this week but has scratched her first three. This past weekend, Parkhe competed at Futures in West Fargo.
There is one scratch on each side in the 200 backstroke. #14 Maggie McGuire has scratched the girls 200 back. McGuire swam on her team’s 4×50 medley relay on night one but has also scratched the 400 free this morning as well. The 200 back was her highest seeded event.
