Day 3 of prelims was filled with close finishes, a family rivalry, fast times, and a heartfelt goodbye.<\/p>\n
Tonight’s finals begin with the women’s 400 IM. This event should be one to watch as the top eight swimmers each shine in their own top strokes, possibly switching the lead at every wall.<\/p>\n
Following the women’s 400 IM will be the Foster brothers dueling it out in lanes 3 and 5.<\/p>\n
Up next is the women’s 100 fly, where Dana Vollmer<\/strong>, who placed 32nd <\/sup>this morning in the last swim of her competitive career, will be cheering the finalists on as an alumni of the swimming world.<\/p>\n The men’s 100 fly follows directly after, with three of the top eight seeds placing in the top ten fastest times of 2019.<\/p>\n Finishing up the night will be the women’s 4×200 free relay.<\/p>\n LIVE RESULTS<\/a><\/p>\n SWIMMING WORLD\u2019S MEET PAGE FOR 2019 Phillips 66 US National Championships<\/a><\/p>\n Women\u2019s 400 IM\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Men\u2019s 400 IM\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Women\u2019s 100 Fly\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Men\u2019s 100 Fly\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Women’s 4×200 Free Relay\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n A year out from the United States Olympic Trials, Emma Weyant<\/strong> has established herself as a top contender for a berth to Tokyo in the 400 individual medley. Heading into her senior year of high school, Weyant pulled away from Stanford\u2019s Brooke Forde<\/strong> down the last lap to claim her first national title. Weyant was timed in 4:35.47, good for fifth in the world rankings, and ahead of the 4:36.07 effort produced by Forde.<\/p>\n Weyant is not a stranger to big-meet atmospheres as she was the gold medalist in the 400 IM at last summer\u2019s Junior Pan Pacific Championships in Fiji. Committed to the University of Virginia<\/a>, Weyant now has a national title to her credit and will carry some major momentum into the Olympic campaign. Weyant was just .08 ahead of Forde at the final turn but managed to come home a half-second quicker.<\/p>\n Ally McHugh<\/strong>, who along with Forde represented the United States at the recent World Championships<\/a>, finished in third place in 4:38.65, with Great Britain\u2019s Hannah Miley<\/strong>, a veteran of international competition, taking fourth in 4:39.00. Madisyn Cox<\/strong> was the fifth athlete to crack the 4:40 barrier, touching in 4:39.26. Miley holds Great Britain’s national record with a time of 4:31.33.<\/p>\n Madisyn Cox<\/strong> moves up a spot from prelims to take fifth with a time of 4:39.26.<\/p>\n Coming into the wall back-to-back were Emma Barksdale<\/strong> and Kelly Fertel<\/strong>, with only .04 between them. Barksdale went a 4:41.49, while Fertel followed with a time of 4:41.53.\u00a0Kate Moore<\/strong> dropped nearly two seconds to get eighth with a time of 4:42.23.<\/p>\nWomen\u2019s 400 IM\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n
