The prelims squad saw Smoliga lead off in 54.06, followed by DeLoof in 53.42 and Schmitt in 54.04 before Hinds\u2019 52.28.<\/p>\n<p>Meehan <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/olympics-american-women-need-entirely-new-squad-for-400-freestyle-relay-final\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">also had other option<\/a>s like Simone Manuel, the defending 100 free gold medalist. But she missed making the 100 free, or even the relay, at the U.S. Olympic trials, though she made the team later in the 50 free. <strong>Katie Ledecky<\/strong> was also an option as was teen sensation <strong>Torri Huske<\/strong>, who just missed joining this relay from trials as well.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, Meehan had to make what he thought the best decision for the U.S. is, which means Smoliga, Schmitt and DeLoof could all still win medals but not swim in the finals.<\/p>\n<p>Australia took the top seed in the event during prelims. Australia swam the prelims in 3:31.73, followed by the Netherlands (3:33.51), Canada (3:33.72), Great Britain (3:34.03), the U.S. (3:34.80), China (3:35:07), Denmark (3:35.56) and Sweden (3:35.93).<\/p>\n<p>The Dolphins\u2019 prelim squad of <strong>Mollie O\u2019Callaghan, Meg Harris, Madison Wilson<\/strong> and <strong>Bronte Campbell<\/strong> easily bested the opposition, a performance of 3:31.73 good for the top seed for the championship race by nearly two seconds.<\/p>\n<p>And, Australia has its biggest weapons to come.<\/p>\n<p>The Aussies headed into these Games as the overwhelming favorites for gold, and their opening-round squad did nothing to change that opinion. After O\u2019Callaghan led off in a split of 53.08, Harris popped a mark of 52.73, with Wilson going 53.10 and Campbell closing out the session with an anchor of 52.82. The lineup only gets stronger in the morning, when <strong>Emma<\/strong> <strong>McKeon<\/strong> and <strong>Cate Campbell<\/strong> are added to the mix.<\/p>\n<p>The Aussies will go with Bronte Campbell, Meg Harris, Emma McKeon and Cate Campbell.<\/p>\n<p>Canada has <strong>Kayla Sanchez, Maggie MacNeil, Rebecca Smith<\/strong> and <strong>Penny Oleksiak<\/strong>. MacNeil takes the place of <strong>Taylor<\/strong> <strong>Ruck<\/strong>, who swam in the prelims.<\/p>\n<p>The Netherlands send <strong>Kim Busch, Ranomi Kromowidjojo, Kira Toussaint<\/strong> and <strong>Femke Heemskerk.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Great Britain\u2019s squad is <strong>Anna Hopkin, Abbie Wood, Lucy Hope<\/strong> and<strong> Freya Anderson<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Denmark\u2019s is <strong>Pernille Blume, Signe Bro, Julie Kepp Jensen<\/strong> and <strong>Jeannete Ottesen<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>China\u2019s team is <strong>Cheng Yujie, Zhu Menghui, Al Yanhan<\/strong> and <strong>Wu Qingfeng<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Sweden\u2019s team is <strong>Sarah Sjostrom, Michelle Coleman, Louise Hansson<\/strong> and <strong>Sophie Hansson<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. will try to vault their way into the finals and Simone Manuel could end up being the difference-maker.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Simone Manuel will make her Tokyo debut tonight, anchoring the 400 free relay.
