And it doesn\u2019t hurt that the winning time of 1:58.05 he turned in is the fastest time in the world this year.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s certainly the way his parents and coaches, <strong>Peter<\/strong> and <strong>Tina<\/strong>, view it. As Michael Andrew described the hierarchy of events in the virtual mixed zone via Zoom Saturday night:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cIf I was to nail it down to three focus events, it would be 100 breaststroke, 50 freestyle, 200 IM. If you ask me, my focus is, I love that 50 free, 100 breast, they\u2019re my two prime (events). And the IM is a big focus just because I can swim all four strokes and I feel like for years, I\u2019ve kind of neglected pursuing that event because it\u2019s such a challenge in terms of endurance for what I\u2019ve always been as that sprinter. My dad would say the 2IM is the No. 1 and my mom would say the same. They love that race; they think it\u2019s a very beautiful race when swum right. Those three are my prime going into trials, and it lays up nicely in the schedule and we\u2019ll see where it goes from there.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It would seem that the 200 IM presents an opportunity to get to Tokyo. <strong>Michael Phelps<\/strong> won gold in Rio. He won\u2019t be in Omaha this year. Fifth at the Games was <strong>Ryan Lochte,<\/strong> vying for a fifth Olympics before he turns 37 in August.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_384726\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-384726\" data-attachment-id=\"384726\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/win-in-200-im-at-pro-swim-series-reinforces-michael-andrews-trials-plan\/team-usa-michael-andrew-4x100-medley-relay-prelims-2019-world-championships_1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/team-usa-michael-andrew-4x100-medley-relay-prelims-2019-world-championships_1.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1500,1002\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;ILCE-7SM2&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1564254667&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;400&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;800&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.002&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"team-usa-michael-andrew-4&#215;100-medley-relay-prelims-2019-world-championships_1\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;3-8-21&lt;br \/&gt;\nteam-usa-michael-andrew-4&#215;100-medley-relay-prelims-2019-world-championships_1&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Michael Andrew; Photo Courtesy: Becca Wyant&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/team-usa-michael-andrew-4x100-medley-relay-prelims-2019-world-championships_1-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/team-usa-michael-andrew-4x100-medley-relay-prelims-2019-world-championships_1-1024x684.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-384726\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/team-usa-michael-andrew-4x100-medley-relay-prelims-2019-world-championships_1.jpg\" alt=\"team-usa-michael-andrew-4x100-medley-relay-prelims-2019-world-championships_1\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/team-usa-michael-andrew-4x100-medley-relay-prelims-2019-world-championships_1.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/team-usa-michael-andrew-4x100-medley-relay-prelims-2019-world-championships_1-280x187.jpg 280w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/team-usa-michael-andrew-4x100-medley-relay-prelims-2019-world-championships_1-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/team-usa-michael-andrew-4x100-medley-relay-prelims-2019-world-championships_1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/team-usa-michael-andrew-4x100-medley-relay-prelims-2019-world-championships_1-450x301.jpg 450w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/team-usa-michael-andrew-4x100-medley-relay-prelims-2019-world-championships_1-1200x802.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/team-usa-michael-andrew-4x100-medley-relay-prelims-2019-world-championships_1-1347x900.jpg 1347w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/team-usa-michael-andrew-4x100-medley-relay-prelims-2019-world-championships_1-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/team-usa-michael-andrew-4x100-medley-relay-prelims-2019-world-championships_1-500x334.jpg 500w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/team-usa-michael-andrew-4x100-medley-relay-prelims-2019-world-championships_1-533x356.jpg 533w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-384726\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Michael Andrew; Photo Courtesy: Becca Wyant<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The last two World Championships, in 2017 and 2019, have featured <strong>Chase Kalisz<\/strong> winning medals (gold and bronze, respectively) and <strong>Abrahm DeVine<\/strong> in 10th then eighth. For whatever it may be worth at this early juncture, DeVine was second Saturday in 1:59.65, Kalisz fourth in 2:00.79 after having won the 400 IM Friday night.<\/p>\n<p>Andrew said he was hoping to be in the 1:57 range. He sees improvement on just the final 50 \u2013 29.67 in the morning; 30.01 at night; a goal time of around 28.5 once Omaha rolls around \u2013 as a significant part of the process to be yielded in training.<\/p>\n<p>Part of the IM\u2019s allure is where it fits <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usaswimming.org\/news\/2019\/03\/20\/2020-u.s.-olympic-team-trials---swimming-event-order\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">in the schedule<\/a>. In Omaha for Trials, Andrew will have the men\u2019s 100 breast in the first two days of the tournament with the third day off. The men\u2019s 100 free is on Day 4, and he\u2019ll likely want to throw down at least a prelims time for the relay reckoning.<\/p>\n<p>That leaves the IM on Days 5 and 6, then the 50 free on the last two days, a trials with four events and zero doubles. Given his value as a relay piece, that could be even more consequential in Tokyo.<\/p>\n<p>At the PSS stop, Andrew <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/tyr-pro-series-michael-andrew-wins-uneventful-100-breaststroke-molly-hannis-prevails-among-women\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">won the 100 breast<\/a> in 1:00.10, besting likely Trials contenders <strong>Nic Fink, Kevin Cordes, Will Licon<\/strong> and <strong>Josh Prenot,<\/strong> all on the downside of 25 years old. He swam the 200 free but got a did-not-finish, hopping out midway after setting a fast first 50 time since he wouldn\u2019t swim the 50 on the final day, resting for the IM.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt feels very rookie-like,\u201d Andrew said with a smile. \u201cYou don\u2019t get out in the middle of the race. But I probably should\u2019ve finished the 200 for giggles.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The world\u2019s fastest time designation, while nice, doesn\u2019t do much for him, he said. He shouted out <strong>Kosuke Hagino<\/strong> in particular for some fast recent swims as likely to topple it. So it\u2019s unlikely to factor into his thinking for Trials.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt feels good. I honestly didn\u2019t know that was going to be the fastest time in the world,\u201d Andrew said. \u201cI remember hitting the world and they announced it, and I was like, \u2018oh that\u2019s pretty cool.\u2019 I feel like it\u2019ll be short-lived. \u2026 It\u2019s always nice to swim the fastest time in the world, and now we get to take that motivation and move on to the next meet and get stronger.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Win in 200 IM at Pro Swim Series Reinforces Michael Andrew\u2019s Trials Plan The challenge for Michael Andrew, as a sprinter first
