Katinka Hosszu set herself up with three more finals spots tonight during day two prelims of the 2015 FINA World Cup Chartres.

Hosszu topped qualifying in the 100-meter free with a 54.69 ahead of Natalie Coughlin’s second-seeded 54.76.  Missy Franklin qualified third in 55.08.

Hosszu then trailed Coughlin, 1:00.36 to 1:00.68, in the 100-meter back for the top two seeds. Franklin (1:00.73) and Emily Seebohm (1:00.94) also broke 1:01.

Hosszu claimed her third finals spot out of prelims with a third-seeded 4:15.48 in the 400-meter free.  Lauren Boyle (4:14.20) and Li Bingjie (4:14.33) earned the top two seeds.

The breaststroke was kind to the Americans.
