TYR Pro Series, Day Two Prelims: Katie Ledecky Notches Solid 400 Free in Prelims<\/strong><\/p>\n

Following an evening of distance racing, in which Katie Ledecky made her return<\/a> to competitive waters after a year hiatus brought in by COVID-19, the USA Swimming TYR Pro Series stop in San Antonio opened with preliminaries on Thursday morning. Competition was held in the 100 freestyle, 100 breaststroke, 200 butterfly and 400 freestyle. Here is a look at how the prelims unfolded in each of those events, which are being used as tuneups for this summer’s Olympic Trials<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Women’s 100 Freestyle<\/h3>\n

The reigning co-Olympic champion in the 100 freestyle, Simone Manuel<\/strong> returned to competition for the first time in a year by claiming the top seed in best event. Manuel comfortably posted a time of 54.36 to best the other two sub-55 efforts in the field, a 54.70 by Abbey Weitzeil<\/strong> and a 54.98 by Katie Ledecky<\/strong>. Look for Manuel to push for a sub-54 performance during the evening session.<\/p>\n

For Ledecky, her showing in prelims was a sign that she is carrying solid speed to go with her always-present endurance. Following Ledecky in fourth place was Linnea Mack<\/strong> in 55.03. Competing in an event that is not one of her main disciplines, Regan Smith<\/strong> advancd to the final in 55.23.<\/p>\n

Men’s 100 Freestyle<\/h3>\n
One of the guys with a great deal to prove this summer is Maxime Rooney<\/strong>, whose opportunity to race for Texas at last year’s NCAA Championships was wiped out by the pandemic. Rooney had a stellar summer in 2019 and could be in line for an Olympic berth to Tokyo in several months. He topped the men’s 100 free field in San Antonio in 49.40, one of six swims under the 50-second barrier.<\/p>\n
Blake Pieroni<\/strong> was right behind Rooney in 49.53 while Andrew Seliskar<\/strong> (49.74), Zach Apple<\/strong> (49.77) and Ryan Held<\/strong> (49.80) followed. Nathan Adrian<\/strong>, the Olympic champion from 2012, finished 10th in prelims and will race in the consolation final after a time of 50.25. He was matchd by Caeleb Dressel<\/strong>, the reigning world champion.<\/p>\n

Women’s 100 Breaststroke<\/h3>\n
Despite the absence of Olympic champion Lilly King<\/strong> from the field, the women’s 100 breaststroke featured a strong lineup, with Molly<\/strong> Hannis<\/strong> leading the morning performances with a 1:07.89 mark, the only effort under 1:08. Hannis had a strong International Swimming League campaign in late 2020 and will battle in the final with Annie Lazor<\/strong>, who came in at 1:08.02.<\/p>\n
Well-known names occupied the third through sixth positions. Emily Escobedo<\/strong>, better known for her 200 breaststroke ability, was third in 1:09.05, followed by Madisyn Cox<\/strong> (1:09.50), Melanie Margalis<\/strong> (1:09.52) and Micah Sumrall<\/strong> (1:09.57).<\/p>\n

Men’s 100 Breaststroke<\/h3>\n
The search for a reliable 100 breaststroker for the American medley relay at this summer’s Olympic Games will be a major storyline over the next few months, particularly with Great Britain featuring Adam Peaty<\/strong> on that leg. As the 100 breaststroke concluded in San Antonio, Michael Andrew<\/strong> held the top seed for finals following a 1:00.23 showing.<\/p>\n
Kevin Cordes<\/strong> (1:00.97) and Nic Fink<\/strong> (1:00.97) were also under 1:01. In finals, it would be a positive development if one of the athletes could clock a time in the 59-mid range or faster to provide some indication that a 58-second effort is manageable at the peak of competition in the summer.<\/p>\n

Women’s 200 Butterfly<\/h3>\n
It can be argued that Hali Flickinger<\/strong>, Regan Smith<\/strong> and Katie Drabot<\/strong> are the top-three favorites to represent Team USA in Tokyo in the 200 butterfly, and that’s exactly the order the women finished during prelims. Flickinger was easily the fastest of the bunch, as she pushed the pace in the morning and exited the pool with a time of 2:07.20.<\/p>\n
Smith, the world-record holder in both backstroke events, was timed in 2:10.79, with Drabot just behind in 2:10.87. The 200 fly is likely Smith’s third event on her Olympic Trials program.<\/p>\n

It was a rather sluggish morning in the men’s 200 butterfly as Chase Kalisz<\/strong> was the lone swimmer to break two minutes, his 1:59.59 good for the top seed over the 2:00.00 of Zach Harting<\/strong>. Jay Litherland<\/strong> checked in at No. 3, with Zheng Quah<\/strong> going 2:00.92 and Jack Saunderson<\/strong> on 2:00.94.<\/p>\n
Tom Shields<\/strong> and Caeleb Dressel<\/strong> also finished in the top eight with respective times of 2:01.55 and 2:01.62.<\/p>\n
