James Guy<\/strong> was fastest into the final after two heats comprising just 11 swimmers.<\/p>\n

The two-time Olympic relay silver medallist stopped the clock at 1:57.82 ahead of Jay Lelliott<\/strong> who booked lane five in a PB of 1:58.37.<\/p>\n

Guy switched coach from Jol Finck<\/strong> to Dave McNulty<\/strong> at Bath National Centre following 2019 worlds, a move that is clearly benefiting the swimmer who is producing his most consistent sets in training and is ready to book his spot at his second Games.<\/p>\n

Ed Mildred<\/strong> – who won three golds and two silvers at the 2019 European Youth Olympic Festival – was next through in 2:01.02.<\/p>\n

Women’s 100 Backstroke; Dawson And Wild Book Centre Lanes<\/h3>\nKathleen Dawson – who became the second British woman inside 59secs when she went 58.65 at the British Swimming Invitation Meet in Manchester last month<\/a> – heads into lane four for tonight’s final.<\/p>\n
Dawson went fourth European all-time last month with Kira Toussaint<\/strong> moving alongside her last week in Eindhoven.<\/a><\/p>\n

She was in the third and final heat having watched her University of Stirling team-mate\u00a0Cassie Wild<\/strong> produce the smoothest and most comfortable 59.88 imaginable.<\/p>\n
Dawson split 28.61\/30.55 to book lane four in 59.16 as both she and Wild went inside the consideration time of 60.2.<\/p>\n
Repeat that in finals and the pair will be heading for Tokyo.<\/p>\n
Medi Harris<\/strong> (1:00.95) and Georgia Davies<\/strong> (1:01.34) were next through.<\/p>\n
Men’s 100 Backstroke; Litchfield Brings It Back<\/h3>\nLitchfield<\/strong> returned from his PB swim in the 200IM<\/a> where he cut inside the consideration time behind Duncan Scott<\/strong>‘s British record of 1:55.90.<\/p>\n
Litchfield, who is coached by Dave Hemmings at the National Centre Loughborough, was fastest through in 54.06. $\"joelitchfield4\"$ <\/p>\n

The world 200 back bronze medallist was in the third heat and if he was affected it certainly wasn’t clear as he got his hand to the wall in 54.36.<\/p>\n
While Litchfield and Greenbank booked the centre lanes, also through inside 55 were Brodie Williams<\/strong> (54.42) and Elliott Clogg<\/strong> (54.48).<\/p>\n

Renshaw spearheads the final ahead of Loughborough team-mate and training partner Wood.<\/p>\n
Renshaw, who was sixth in Rio, matched Jocelyn Ulyett’<\/strong>s British record of 2:22.08 at the Manchester International Swim Meet<\/strong> in February.<\/a><\/p>\n
On Thursday, she clocked 2:23.81 with Wood – who narrowly missed the 200 free consideration time on Wednesday – way ahead in the second heat and touched in 2:24.03<\/p>\n
Ulyett, who set the British record back in 2017, was next through in 2:26.11.<\/p>\n
Chloe Tutton\u00a0<\/strong>is not competing any more having retired, the Welshwoman finishing fourth in Rio, 0.06 off a podium that included Yulia Efimova<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
Men’s 800 Free<\/h3>\n
All the 80o and 1500 free races will be heat-declared winners with Alexander Hindle<\/strong> doing a big PB of 8:18.73.<\/p>\n
Women’s 800 Free<\/h3>\n
There were just three swimmers in the women’s race and all of them under 18 with\u00a0Livia Kingsland\u00a0<\/strong> quickest in 9:14.66.<\/p>\n
