A Look at Schedules Of Rising Stars Thomas Heilman and Daniel Diehl At International Team Trials

Most of the attention at next week’s USA Swimming International Team Trials in Greensboro will be on the athletes chasing bids to this summer’s World Championships in Budapest. However, it will be worth watching two youngsters who are rising stars and may be future fixtures for the United States on the international stage.

Thomas Heilman, a 15-year-old, and Daniel Diehl, a 16-year-old, have set their share of National Age Group (NAG) records during their young careers. Most recently, Diehl set a 15-16 standard in the long-course version of the 100-meter backstroke, clocking in at 53.59. Here’s a look at the schedules of Heilman and Diehl, along with the NAG (15-16) records in each event.

Heilman and Diehl are slated to compete against each other in four events.
