The nations worked out an agreement allowing New Zealand swimmers competing collegiately in U.S. to use the Canadian event as an alternative qualifying event.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Matt Hutchins<\/strong>, on scholarship at the University of Wisconsin and <strong>Corey Main<\/strong> (Florida) both join the NZ roster. \u00a0Hutchins clocked 3:49.84 in his heat of the 400m freestyle before winning the B final in 3:52.12 for his second swim under the selection standard. It was the second fastest time recorded in finals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBeing able to swim under 3:50 in the morning took so much pressure off myself. I wanted to go faster tonight but to do two times under the qualifying is pleasing,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt hasn\u2019t fully sunk in yet, but I`m sure once I get back to Madison and take a step back and look at it I`ll appreciate this even more. It\u2019s obviously a huge honor for me to represent my country.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Second in the B Final was Georgia-based Kevin Litherland, who qualified for the trials along with his brother Mick. Their father is a New Zealander. Their brother Jay \u2013 they are triplets &#8211; will compete at the US Trials.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Kevin Litherland<\/strong> finished in 3:50.71, just outside the FINA A standard of 3:50:40.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hutchins also swam in the 200m freestyle on Tuesday and finished fifth in the B Final with a time of 1:50.84. He is scheduled to swim in the 1500m freestyle on Saturday. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMy stroke is designed for long distance so having done a good time in the 400 is always a good confidence-boost going into the 1500 later this week,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Earlier, Main was the first New Zealander to go under the 100m backstroke time, clocking 54.27, under the qualifying time of 54.36. The fastest swimmer at the New Zealand trials in Auckland was <strong>Cornielle Coetzee<\/strong> with 55.88. His brother <strong>Wilrich Coetzee<\/strong> won that final in 56.03.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hutchins\u2019 swim bring the tally of New Zealand swimmers who have achieved the FINA A standard to eight swimmers in 10 events so far.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Dave Crampton Two more New Zealand swimmers have gone under the qualifying standard for the Rio Olympics during the first three days of the Canadian Olympic Trials in Toronto.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":194212,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3,10],"tags":[57349],"class_list":["post-194211","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-world","tag-2016-canadian-olympic-swimming-trials"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) -
