Six swimmers picked up new Olympic Trials cuts at the Orlando section of the TYR 18U Spring Cup Sunday.<\/p>\n

The 200 individual medley was particularly prosperous ground. Sara Stolter<\/strong> won the girls event in 2:16.45 to get under the standard. Ella Bathurst<\/strong> was second having already earned her way to Omaha. Third-placed Annika McEnroe<\/strong> will join them after she dropped 1.5 seconds to go 2:17.29 and clear the mark by an even tenth of a second.<\/p>\n

The boys winner is also Omaha-bound. Henry Bethel<\/strong> eked his way under the cut of 2:04.09, winning in 2:04.06. There was almost a fourth IMer bound for Trials, but Matt Fallon<\/strong> came up .09 shy in 2:04.18. It was still a best time by 1.8 seconds.<\/p>\n

Evan Keogh<\/strong> didn\u2019t win the 200 backstroke, but his runner-up time of 2:02.74 was a best by 1.2 seconds and gets him a Trials spot. Winner Brandon Miller<\/strong> (2:02.47) already had a Trials cut sewn up. Luke Shourds<\/strong> (1:03.06 in the 100 breaststroke) and Holden Smith<\/strong> (54.01 in the 100 butterfly) also earned Trials cuts via time trials in Orlando.<\/p>\n

The Orlando section is one of four quadrants of the TYR 18U Spring Cup across the country,<\/a> offering the top youth talent a chance to qualify for Trials or upgrade which wave of Trials they make.<\/p>\n
