WHILE some of the bigger names looked to be cruising into semifinals, Clark Burckle and Scott Weltz were throwing down an epic race in the initial of the circle-seeded heats in the men&#039;s 200 breast at the 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials.<\/p>\n<p>Burckle held off Weltz, 2:10.30 to 2:10.90, at the wall in heat 12 of 14 as the two earned the top two seeds. Burckle has been faster with a 2:09.72 to his credit, but Marin Pirate Weltz smashed his previous best of 2:12.37. The two both swam in the 100 breast finale, with Weltz taking fourth and Burckle earning seventh.<\/p>\n<p>Eric Shanteau, who placed second to Scott Spann in the 2008 edition to earn an Olympic bid, cruised with a 2:11.57 for the third seed, while Elliott Keefer edged Brendan Hansen, 2:11.90 to 2:12.14, in the final qualifying heat.  Hansen, who already threepeated the men&#039;s 100 breast earlier in the week, is looking to reclaim his 2004 title in the event. <\/p>\n<p>Trevor Hoyt (2:12.65), Matt Elliott (2:12.67) and Kevin Cordes (2:12.72) rounded out the top eight, while IU&#039;s Cody Miller overcame a suit malfunction before his race to make semis with a 12th-seeded time of 2:13.61.  Additionally, GPAC&#039;s Brendan McHugh had one of the biggest jumps up the psych sheet with a sterling 2:13.87 to finish 16th out of heat 4 of 14.  Notably, Ed Moses missed the Olympic team in his comeback bid with an 18th-place 2:14.32, while Mike Alexandrov wound up 21st with a 2:14.78. Steve West, the oldest male competitor at the Trials at 40, placed 62nd with a 2:19.47. <\/p>\n<p>The Semifinalists:<br \/>\nClark Burckle &#8212; 2:10.30<br \/>\nScott Weltz &#8212; 2:10.90 (lifetime best)<br \/>\nEric Shanteau &#8212; 2:11.57<br \/>\nElliott Keefer &#8212; 2:11.90 (lifetime best)<br \/>\nBrendan Hansen &#8212; 2:12.14<br \/>\nTrevor Hoyt &#8212; 2:12.65 (lifetime best)<br \/>\nMatt Elliott &#8212; 2:12.67 (lifetime best)<br \/>\nKevin Cordes &#8212; 2:12.72 (lifetime best)<br \/>\nJosh Prenot &#8212; 2:13.00 (lifetime best)<br \/>\nBJ Johnson &#8212; 2:13.02 (lifetime best)<br \/>\nAdam Klein &#8212; 2:13.07<br \/>\nJack Brown &#8212; 2:13.61<br \/>\nCody Miller &#8212; 2:13.61 (lifetime best)<br \/>\nEric Friedland &#8212; 2:13.81<br \/>\nSean Mahoney &#8212; 2:13.86<br \/>\nBrendan McHugh &#8212; 2:13.87 (lifetime best)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Full wall-to-wall coverage, including photo galleries, athlete interviews, recaps and columns are available at the Event Landing Page OMAHA, Nebraska, June 28.
