Australia had a few wins at the meet, with siblings Emma and David McKeon among the victors.

Seebohm sent out a Tweet saying the injury won\u2019t keep her from her preparation for world championships, but one wonders how the brief time out of the water will affect her training.

The meet, held on the campus of Clovis High School, had its share of fast swimming, but the event will likely be remembered more for who did not attend. Three of the four athletes who set national high school records just one week earlier in sectional meets opted not to extend their tapers for the state meet, leaving just Ella Eastin to serve as the top swimmer. Swimming with a cut on a finger that had required stitches, Eastin did very well in her final high school meet, winning the 100 breast and 200 IM. She was expected to challenge the overall national record in the 200 IM after setting the independent school mark a week earlier, but she fell a bit short. JSerra managed to win the women\u2019s meet by 10 points over Crean Lutheran, while Northgate took the men\u2019s team title by 59 points over San Ramon Valley.<\/p>\n<h3>#1: James Magnussen to have shoulder surgery, will miss world championships<\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_107273\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/DSC00496.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-107273\" data-attachment-id=\"107273\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/video-interviews-chatting-with-adrian-magnussen-and-phelps-after-100-free-prelims-at-pan-pacs\/dsc00496\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/DSC00496.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2304,1296\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.4&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;HDR-XR200V&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1231889295&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;3.1&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.016666666666667&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"james-magnussen-2014\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;James Magnussen at Pan Pacs&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: SwimmingWorld.TV&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/DSC00496-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/DSC00496-1024x576.jpg\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-107273\" src=\"http:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/DSC00496-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"Photo Courtesy: SwimmingWorld.TV\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-107273\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy: SwimmingWorld.TV<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The men\u2019s 100 freestyle at the world championships will be without James Magnussen, who will be healing from shoulder surgery. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/james-magnussen-to-have-shoulder-surgery-will-miss-world-championships\/\" target=\"_blank\">Magnussen will have the surgery in a few weeks<\/a> after having to withdraw from a meet in Australia because swimming at a fast speed aggravated the sub-scapular tear in his left shoulder. In order to train at the level needed for the Olympics next year, Magnussen and his coach elected to have the surgery now. That means Magnussen won\u2019t get the chance to go for a third consecutive 100 free world title, something no one has ever done. Swimming Australia hasn\u2019t officially announced the athletes who will replace Magnussen in the 50 and 100 freestyles, but will likely do it with athletes already on the world championship team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shocking news from Australia and the first statewide high school championship in California were all the buzz in the past few days, and they
