Just like Lilly King in the women’s event, Kevin Cordes set himself up for a hat trick in the 100 breast prelims. Cordes has already won the 50 and 200 at this meet and has a chance to win his third event of the meet in the 100 with a 59.16 this morning in prelims. Cordes looked long and strong in the heats and is the top seed going into finals. Cordes leads Georgia’s Nic Fink at 59.80 as they were the only two in prelims under a minute. Fink is already on the team after his second place finish in the 200 on Wednesday. Both of those guys are off to their third World Championships.

The rest of the field is no slouch as Cody Miller (1:00.02), Andrew Wilson (1:00.15), Will Licon (1:00.34), Josh Prenot (1:00.55), Jacob Montague (1:00.71) and Michael Andrew (1:00.75) will compete in the A-final. This is one of the last chances for guys like Miller, Licon, Wilson and Prenot to get on the Worlds team. Licon and Prenot are both entered in the 200 IM, but this is the last chance for Miller and Wilson. Miller is trying to make a return trip to Worlds as the other guys are trying to make their first team.
