GOLD COAST, Australia, August 21.

Japan’s Daiya Seto topped the men’s 200-meter fly tonight in 1:54.92, just off his second-ranked season best of 1:54.70 from the Monte Carlo stop of the Mare Nostrum.  Brazil’s Leonardo De Deus took second in 1:55.28 to move to sixth in the world, while Tyler Clary of the U.S. placed third in 1:55.42 for eighth in the rankings.

Japan’s Masato Sakai (1:56.64), South Africa’s Michael Meyer (1:58.33), Canada’s Mack Darragh (1:58.52), Canada’s Gamal Assaad (2:02.99) and China’s Wei Haobo (2:03.22) also performed in the championship heat.

Tom Shields, ranked third in the world with a 1:55.09 from U.S. Nationals, drew a disqualification this morning.  However, with no other American than Clary competing in the 200 fly, he’s a lock for the 2015 World roster alongside Clary now.

Kalisz scratched the 200 fly to be more ready for the 400 IM, according to Bob Bowman.

Hope that means there was no illness or injury; he’ll need to be at his best to race that field.
