The 2018 Phillips 66 National Championships continues tonight in Irvine, CA with the best of the United States vying for spots on a number of international rosters for this summer and next year\u2019s World Championships team.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ryan Murphy\u00a0<\/strong>capped off the session with the sole American record of the night, also taking down the U.S. Open and Championship records en route to his second National title of the week.\u00a0Michael Andrew<\/strong>, meanwhile, broke his own U.S. Open record in the 50 breast while also completing an impressive event triple during the finals session, while\u00a0Caeleb Dressel\u00a0<\/strong>put fears about his meet to rest with the fastest 100 fly in the world so far this year.<\/p>\n

Check out all the biggest swims from the night in the live recap below!<\/p>\n

    Women\u2019s 400 IM<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Ally McHugh\u00a0<\/strong>pulled off a major upset in the women’s 400 IM, blowing away the rest of the field\u00a0<\/strong>with a monstrous final 100 meters to grab the title in 4:34.80. McHugh was sitting fifth through much of the race before turning it on in the second half and out-splitting the entire field on the freestyle leg. She was the only swimmer in the field under 30 seconds on her final 50 (29.86), and with her time will punch her ticket to Pan Pacs and move up to fourth in the world.<\/p>\n

    In second was Stanford’s\u00a0Brooke Forde<\/strong>, who was in the lead at the 350 but couldn’t hold off McHugh. She finished in 4:35.09, which is still a four second drop from her previous lifetime best heading into Nationals that was from last summer.<\/p>\n

    In third was\u00a0Melanie Margalis\u00a0<\/strong>with a 4:35.50, who will likely qualify to swim the event at Pan Pacs with that finish, while defending national champion\u00a0Leah Smith\u00a0<\/strong>was fourth in 4:35.68 after leading in the early half of the race before falling back during the breaststroke leg.<\/p>\n

    The rest of the A-final was comprised of\u00a0Evie Pfiefer\u00a0<\/strong>(4:38.68),\u00a0Kay Sargent\u00a0<\/strong>(4:40.24),\u00a0Allie Szekely<\/strong> (4:41.38), and\u00a0Emma Weyant\u00a0<\/strong>(4:43.54).<\/p>\n

    \"Screen<\/p>\n

    Men\u2019s 400 IM<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Georgia went 1-2 in the men’s 400 IM, with the familiar duo of Chase Kalisz\u00a0<\/strong>and Jay Litherland\u00a0<\/strong>grabbing the gold and silver respectively. Kalisz used his usual strong breaststroke leg to move up to first in the field by the 250 and never looked back, cruising into the wall in 4:08.25. That takes about 7-tenths off of his top ranked time in the world from earlier this year.<\/p>\n

    Litherland, for his part, knocked about three seconds off of his season best to finish in 4:10.21. That is less than a second off of his best time from last summer and faster than his second place swim that qualified him for the 2016 Rio Olympics.<\/p>\n

    The rest of the field was unusually tight, with Cal’s\u00a0Sean Grieshop\u00a0<\/strong>(4:12.72) and Texas’\u00a0Sam Stewart\u00a0<\/strong>(4:13.65) both recording new best times ahead of Stanford’s\u00a0Abraham DeVine\u00a0<\/strong>(4:13.77) and Michigan’s\u00a0Charlie Swanson\u00a0<\/strong>(4:14.01). DeVine took the race out hard, leading through the 200 mark before dropping back to sixth after the breaststroke. Rounding out the final was another Georgia swimmer,\u00a0Gunnar Bentz\u00a0<\/strong>(4:15.48), and\u00a0Kieran Smith\u00a0<\/strong>(4:18.18).<\/p>\n

    \"Screen<\/p>\n

    Women\u2019s 100 Fly<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Louisville’s Kelsi Dahlia\u00a0<\/strong>dropped .03 from her morning swim to grab the title in the 100 fly and officially book her ticket to Pan Pacs. Dahlia won the 50 fly\u00a0(and also tied her American record) on the second night of the meet, but the 50’s of stroke are only used as qualifying events for next summer’s World Championships at this meet. Dahlia was actually third at the turn but used the fastest second 50 of anyone in the field to get her hands on the wall first.<\/p>\n

    In second with a huge swim was Cal’s\u00a0Katie McLaughlin<\/strong>. She touched the wall in 57.51, a best time by 3-tenths and the first time she has been under 58-seconds since 2015. In third was Team Elite’s\u00a0Kendyl Stewart\u00a0<\/strong>in 57.70, which was also a huge best time for the swimmer. That dropped a tenth off of her season-best and moved her past her old best time of 57.82 from 2014. Joining the field under 58 seconds in fourth was\u00a0Mallory Comerford\u00a0<\/strong>(57.95).<\/p>\n

    Hellen Moffitt\u00a0<\/strong>finished in fifth (58.15), while\u00a0Veronica Burchill\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Sarah Gibson\u00a0<\/strong>tied for 6th in 58.59. Rounding out the final in 8th was\u00a0Dakota Luther\u00a0<\/strong>(58.91).<\/p>\n

    \"Screen<\/p>\n

    Men\u2019s 100 Fly<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Caeleb Dressel\u00a0<\/strong>put a lot of fears to rest with a dominating swim in the 100 fly. The Florida swimmer finished first in 50.50 to punch his ticket to Pan Pacs, less than three-tenths off of\u00a0Michael Phelps\u00a0<\/strong>U.S. Open and Nationals meet record of 50.22 from 2009. That is .37 faster than his winning time from Nationals last summer, and is the fastest that he has been outside of World Championships in his career.\u00a0That also moves him into the #1 spot in the world for 2018 behind South Africa’s\u00a0Chad le Clos<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    In second was Texas’\u00a0Jack Conger<\/strong> in 51.11. That is slightly off his personal best of 51.00 from earlier this season but stands as the second fastest time in his career.\u00a0Michael Andrew\u00a0<\/strong>finished third in the first of three events for the day in 51.68. That is a best time by about 2-tenths for the 19-year-old, and should give him a spot on the Pan Pacs roster this summer. He previously earned a spot on the Worlds team for next summer after winning the 50 fly over Dressel last night.<\/p>\n

    Top seed\u00a0Jack Saunderson\u00a0<\/strong>was fourth in 51.88. That was about 4-tenths slower than his swim from this morning, but still may be good for a spot on the Pan Pacs team. Also under 52-seconds was 2016 Olympian\u00a0Tom Shields\u00a0<\/strong>(51.96), while 200 fly runner-up\u00a0Zach Harting\u00a0<\/strong>was sixth in 52.00. Finishing in seventh was 200 free champion\u00a0Andrew Seliskar\u00a0<\/strong>(52.24), while\u00a0Matthew Josa\u00a0<\/strong>was eighth (52.29).<\/p>\n

    \"Screen<\/p>\n

    Women\u2019s 50 Breast<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Lilly King\u00a0<\/strong>secured herself a spot on the 2019 Worlds team with a blistering swim in the 50 breast. King touched the wall first in 29.86, the only swimmer in the field under 30 seconds and just 4-tenths off of her world record from last summer. She was also about 2-tenths shy of her U.S. Open and meet records from last summer.<\/p>\n

    In second was\u00a0Molly Hannis<\/strong>, who touched in 30.07, well ahead of third place finisher\u00a0Katie Meili\u00a0<\/strong>(30.72). That should be a nice confidence boost for Hannis, who has been very consistent this year and will be looking to earn a Pan Pacs spot in the 100 breast tomorrow night. In fourth was\u00a0Jorie Caneta\u00a0<\/strong>(30.86), while\u00a0Lindsey Kozelsky\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Breeja Larson\u00a0<\/strong>tied for fifth in 30.87.\u00a0Emily Weiss\u00a0<\/strong>was seventh in 30.88, while\u00a0Bethany Galat\u00a0<\/strong>was eighth in 31.19.<\/p>\n

    \"Screen<\/p>\n

    Men\u2019s 50 Breast<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Michael\u00a0<\/strong>Andrew\u00a0<\/strong>dropped .02 off his U.S. Open record from this morning to grab his second National title of the meet. Touching the wall in 26.84, Andrew blew away the rest of the field as the only swimmer under 27 seconds in the final and earned himself a second event swim at Worlds in 2019. Even more impressive, that swim came a little over 20 minutes after his third place finish in the 100 fly final earlier in the session.<\/p>\n

    In second was\u00a0Devon Nowicki\u00a0<\/strong>out of lane 6 in 27.17, which was .07 off his prelims swim. He was followed by short course American record holder\u00a0Ian Finnerty\u00a0<\/strong>(27.19) in third and American record holder\u00a0Kevin Cordes\u00a0<\/strong>in fourth (27.21).<\/p>\n

    Connor Hoppe <\/strong>(27.31),\u00a0Nic Fink\u00a0<\/strong>(27.49),\u00a0Max McHugh\u00a0<\/strong>(27.66), and\u00a0Jacob Montague\u00a0<\/strong>(27.80) rounded out the rest of the A-final.<\/p>\n

    \"Screen<\/p>\n

    Women\u2019s 50 Back<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Georgia’s\u00a0Olivia Smoliga\u00a0<\/strong>earned herself a spot on the 2019 Worlds team with a win in the 50 back tonight. Smoliga was 27.70 in tonight’s final, which was a .24 drop from her prelims time. While her season best actually stands as the American record in the event (she was 27.43 at the TYR Pro Series in Mesa in April), this year is the first season she has been under 28 seconds in the event and her swim tonight is the second fastest of her career.<\/p>\n

    In second was top seed\u00a0Ali DeLoof<\/strong> in 27.88. That was just a tenth slower than he top seeded time from the morning, which was a new personal best for the Michigan swimmer. Expect both Smoliga and DeLoof to be in the hunt to make the Pan Pacs team in tomorrow’s 100 backstroke. Just behind DeLoof in third was\u00a0Elise Haan\u00a0<\/strong>(27.90), while Cal’s\u00a0Keaton Blovad\u00a0<\/strong>finished fourth in 28.05.<\/p>\n

    Teenagers\u00a0Katharine Berkoff\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Isabelle Stadden\u00a0<\/strong>tied for sixth in 28.13, while\u00a0Alex Walsh\u00a0<\/strong>(28.25) and\u00a0Caroline Baldwin\u00a0<\/strong>(28.26) finished seventh and eighth.<\/p>\n

    \"Screen<\/p>\n

    Men\u2019s 50 Back<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Ryan Murphy\u00a0<\/strong>shattered the American, U.S. Open, and Championships records in the 50 backstroke to grab his second National title of the meet. Touching the wall in 24.24, Murphy broke\u00a0Randall Ball’s\u00a0<\/strong>2008 record of 24.33 by .09. Using an incredible start with a .48 reaction time, Murphy vaulted himself to #1 in the world and earned a spot in the event at the 2019 World Championships.<\/p>\n

    In second was NC State’s\u00a0Justin Ress<\/strong>, who was also under Ball’s former American record with his second place time of 24.31. Ress will be one to watch for in the tomorrow’s 100 backstroke, which is the swimmer’s last chance for qualifying for Tokyo. In third was Ress’ teammate\u00a0Ryan Held\u00a0<\/strong>(24.60), while\u00a0Michael Andrew completed his third finals swim of the night in fourth (24.62).<\/p>\n

    Backstroke veteran Matt Grevers\u00a0<\/strong>was fifth in 24.63, while\u00a0Daniel Carr <\/strong>(24.81),\u00a0Chris Staka\u00a0<\/strong>(25.13), and\u00a0Bryce Mefford\u00a0<\/strong>(25.44) rounded out the final.<\/p>\n
