The 2019 US National Championships have come to a close, and all opportunities to qualify for the World Junior Championships in Budapest, Hungary have passed. All that is left is awaiting the official roster for these junior swimmers. Aside from the priority 1 athletes, all of the priority 2/3 swimmers should be able to be selected for the team, pending those who decline their roster spots.

Below is the full projected roster for each gender, along with the new qualifiers from Sunday’s competition. Also, another refresher on the selection process and what each priority group outlines.

• We’re also not including athletes who appear to have declined their roster spots, according to this Mitch Dalton tweet.
• PRIORITY 1 Athletes
  • These athletes should be locked in, provided they don’t decline their roster spots.
• PRIORITY 2 & 3 Athletes
  • These athletes are in line for selection, but need enough athletes to double up in events to be officially added to the roster.
• Reminder: this is a projected roster of the current qualifiers before potential athlete position declinations.

During Sunday’s competition, Jake Mitchell added his 3rd individual event with his 8th-place finish in the 800 free. Meanwhile, 17-year-old Carson Foster added his 4th individual event after winning the B-final with the 2nd-fastest time of the finals session. Multi-time YMCA national champion David Curtiss put up his dukes in the 50 free A-final with his 5th-place finish behind big-time college sprinters.

Among the 12 priority one boys, 9 of them have multiple qualified events. Aside from Foster’s four events, Jake Magahey, Jake Mitchell, and Luca Urlando all have 3 events under their belts. At 19 total qualifiers, all the priority 2/3 athletes should have no problem making the selection cut.

Out of the afternoon distance session, Paige McKenna‘s time out of heat 3 was good enough to finish 6th overall and claim her spot in the 1500 free. Justina Kozan snuck into the elite women’s 200 IM A-final and claimed her spot on the World Juniors team. Gretchen Walsh proceeded blasted the 2nd-fastest time in 15-16 age group history in the 50 free A-final to become the national runner-up and complete her 50/100 free event line-up.

With 17 of the girls in the priority one tier, Gretchen Walsh, Torri Huske, Chase Travis, Claire Tuggle, Olivia McMurray, and Claire Curzan have all added a second event to their individual event line-up. The total number of qualified girls is now at 25, which is one below the maximum 26 athletes. That means all priorities should make the roster.
