U.S. International Team Trials: Michael Andrews Buzzes American Record, Lilly King Tops in 50 Breast<\/strong><\/p>\n

A routine set of 50 breaststroke heats at the U.S. International Team Trials got a jolt on the last swim, with Michael Andrew<\/strong> nearly downing an American record.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no surprise in the top seeds in Thursday night\u2019s final, with Lilly King<\/strong> setting the pace for the women and Andrew for the men. But Andrew\u2019s time of 26.78 nearly downed the American record of 26.76, owned since 2015 by Kevin Cordes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a personal best time for Andrew and the second-fastest American time ever. Making it all the more impressive was that it came on the heels of Andrew finishing third in prelims of the 100 butterfly with a time of 51.57. That will challenge for the second spot in Budapest, with Caeleb Dressel<\/strong> out in front in the chase for the win.<\/p>\n
