Kevin Cordes, an Olympic finalist in both breaststroke events last summer in Rio, and Andrew Seliskar, this year’s NCAA runner-up in the 400 IM, are both absent from the initial psych sheet for next week’s U.S. National Championships.

Cordes has been a consistent presence on the Arena Pro Swim Series all year, so his absence is especially puzzling, while Seliskar has not competed since the NCAA championships.

Swimming World has reached out to determine the reasons for Cordes and Seliskar being absent and will update this story if there are new developments.

UPDATE: A spokesman for the Cal-Berkeley men’s team has confirmed that Seliskar will not be at Nationals but did not offer any specific reasons for his absence.

UPDATE No. 2: USA Swimming has confirmed that Cordes’ absence from the first version of the psych sheet was an error, and Cordes will compete in the breaststroke events in Indy.
