The women’s 200 butterfly is one of several races at the upcoming Phillips 66 US National Championships that will be without the 2016 winner from US Olympic Trials.\u00a0Cammile Adams\u00a0<\/strong>is not entered in the event after representing the United States consistently in the event since the 2012 Olympic Games in London, and would-be favorite\u00a0Kelsi Worrell\u00a0<\/strong>is absent from the psych sheet as well.<\/p>\n

That leaves the door wide open for several swimmers to potentially punch their ticket to Budapest this summer in what is\u00a0shaping up to be a tight field. A\u00a0favorite to qualify\u00a0has to be\u00a0Hali Flickinger<\/strong>, who was second behind Adams at Trials last summer and will be entering the meet at the #1 seed with a 2:06.67, but the second spot is up for grabs between a number of swimmers.<\/p>\n

Cassidy Bayer<\/strong>, who recently gave her verbal commitment to swim at Cal-Berkeley<\/a> starting in the fall of 2018, will definitely be in the mix. She was third at Olympic Trials last summer at just 16 years old, and with another year of experience under her belt will definitely be a threat to make the team.<\/p>\n

Just behind her is\u00a0Hannah Saiz<\/strong>, who is coming into the meet as the third seed with a 2:09.61. At 26 years old Saiz is the oldest swimmer in the field by 4 years, which may be an advantage over the relatively young field. The Kenyon College grad was 8th at last summer’s Olympic Trials and went on to win the event at the US Open last summer, giving her some valuable experience on the national stage. With Adams and Worrell both absent, this\u00a0may be the summer for Saiz to make that next leap onto the World Championships Team.<\/p>\n

Other strong contenders will be\u00a0Katie McLaughlin\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Ella Eastin<\/strong>. McLaughlin was runner-up in the 200 butterfly at NCAA’s this year and is coming back from an injury<\/a> that side-lined her leading up to the 2016 Olympic Trials. McLaughlin qualified for Worlds in this event back in 2015, and actually has the second fastest lifetime best of the field. Eastin, for her part, won the 200 fly at NCAA’s this year<\/a> and could be poised to make a move in the event in long course.<\/p>\n

17-year old\u00a0Ruby Martin\u00a0<\/strong>may be the sleeper in the field. Coming in as the fourth seed in 2:09.97, Martin finished fourth with that time at last year’s Olympic Trials<\/a> after a huge drop from her lifetime best of 2:12.69 coming into the meet. She has only swam the event long course once this year, taking fourth at the Atlanta Arena Pro Series meet with a 2:11.15, her third fastest time ever in the event.<\/p>\n
