By David Rieder.<\/em><\/p>\n

With 100 meters left, Elizabeth Beisel\u2019s<\/strong> 11-year streak was cooked. Turning from breaststroke to freestyle in the women\u2019s 400 IM final at U.S. Nationals, Leah Smith<\/strong> had built up a big lead, and Ella Eastin<\/strong> was a solid second. For the first time since she made the 2006 Pan Pacs team as a 13-year-old, a major U.S. team would assemble without Beisel.<\/p>\n

Smith touched the wall first in 4:33.86, three seconds ahead of Eastin in 4:36.96. Beisel came in next at 4:38.55.<\/p>\n

But Beisel was not bitter or disappointed\u2014rather, she was proud. After a lengthy break after the Rio Olympics, that effort, she figured, was all she could expect from herself.<\/p>\n

She embraced Smith, a typical freestyler who stunned just about everybody\u2014herself included\u2014with the second-fastest time in the world this year in a race she had hardly swum in years. Then, Beisel pulled herself over the lane line to find Eastin.<\/p>\n

Beisel acknowledged to both that the U.S. had been excellent in the 400 IM for years, as she and Maya DiRado piled up World Championship and Olympic medals, but that Smith and Eastin were more than capable of taking the mantle.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m telling (Eastin), \u2018Girl, you are the future. I\u2019m handing you over that 400 IM baton. Take it,\u2019\u201d Beisel recalled.<\/p>\n

Eastin was overwhelmed with joy at making her first major international team. She had finally erased a four-year-old best time\u2014by more than two seconds, to boot, and she was going to her first major international meet. She was overjoyed, and her Stanford teammates were racing behind the blocks to embrace her.<\/p>\n

Suddenly, Eastin\u2019s time disappeared and was replaced by \u201cDQ.\u201d Beisel, still in conversation with Eastin, saw it first and pointed out to the Stanford junior that something was wrong.<\/p>\n

\u201cI looked at the board, and I saw the DQ next to her name,\u201d Beisel said. \u201cI was like \u2018Ella, look at the board.\u2019 I think she thought I said something else. I\u2019m like, \u2018No, Ella, you need to look at the board.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The entire IUPUI Natatorium was stunned. The Cardinal contingent heading to congratulate Eastin froze dead in their tracks and retreated to their seats.<\/p>\n

Coach Greg Meehan<\/strong> marched across the deck to the officials\u2019 table, taking barely a moment to acknowledge incoming freshman Brooke Forde<\/strong>, who had just broken 4:40 for the first time and finished fourth\u2014after the DQ, third\u2014in her first national final.<\/p>\n

Eastin had been DQed for \u201cswimming a variation of backstroke for more than one-quarter of the race.\u201d So, too, had Bethany<\/strong> Galat<\/strong>, who had already made the World Champs team in the women\u2019s 200 breast. Two other swimmers were called for the same violation between six heats of women\u2019s and men\u2019s 400 IM.<\/p>\n

Each of the four had been closer to their back than to front when pushing off the wall for the final 50 of freestyle\u2014infractions of the so-called \u201cLochte rule,\u201d instituted after Ryan Lochte<\/strong> attempted to dolphin kick on his back while swimming freestyle in 2015<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Boos rained down from the stands as the DQs of Eastin and then Galat were announced. But nothing the crowd or Meehan could do to change the mind of the officials. Eastin was out\u2014and by extension, Beisel was going to the World Championships. Her 11-year streak of swimming on the top U.S. national team would be extended to 12.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a number Beisel takes incredible pride in, the consistency spanning almost half her life. But the circumstances made this one feel weird, even uncomfortable.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m proud of myself,\u201d Beisel said, \u201cbut I did not make the team under the circumstances I\u2019m proud of. That\u2019s never the way that I would ever want to make the team.\u201d<\/p>\n

But she\u2019s on the team, and she\u2019s going to Budapest. Even so, Beisel knows the realities of her situation: Times in the 4:38-range won\u2019t have her contending for medals when she gets to the World Championships, and it took a full two seconds faster to make the Olympic final in the event.<\/p>\n

Beisel, however, offers much more than just fast swimming, and she plans to give as much as she can to Team USA in and out of the pool\u2014especially since she admits that her time in the sport might not last much longer.<\/p>\n

\u201cAm I a medal contender? No, probably not, but I\u2019m going to do my best to represent the United States of America the best I can,\u201d she said. \u201cBut for me, I bring more leadership for the team than medals. And that\u2019s what I\u2019m excited for, because I have one more chance to really show these young guns what to do.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know what the future holds in swimming for me. I don\u2019t know if I\u2019ll be in Tokyo. If I can really guide them in the right direction and help those new leaders coming up and have them lead the team to the most successful Olympics ever, that means more to me than winning a medal.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A team captain last summer at the Olympics, Beisel is almost certain to fill that role again as by far the longest-tenured member of the women\u2019s team or even the men\u2019s. Among those she will have an eye on: Smith, who referred to Beisel as a \u201crole model\u201d and a \u201cpillar of support\u201d, will be taking her first crack in an IM event at a major international meet.<\/p>\n

Smith\u2019s time from Thursday night ranks third in the world for 2017, only 0.15 behind world record-holder Katinka<\/strong> Hosszu<\/strong>. She does look like a medal contender for Budapest\u2014even if the 400 IM will come at the end of a long week of freestyle racing for Smith.<\/p>\n

Beisel wants nothing more than for Eastin to\u00a0be there, too.<\/p>\n

\u201cElla is an incredible swimmer, and she still has 200 IM, which is her best event, and I have no doubt that she\u2019ll be on the team Saturday,\u201d Beisel said.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not only Eastin in pain because of the untimely, unfortunate DQ. Beisel hurts for her, too. But Beisel knows\u2014and so do the coaches and officials in USA Swimming\u2014that the members of this year\u2019s Worlds team will be better off for having Elizabeth Beisel around in Budapest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
