She was second to <strong>Simone Manuel,<\/strong> who isn\u2019t at Worlds this year for the U.S., in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>McKeon didn\u2019t qualify for those 2019 Worlds in the event, it still falling in the halcyon days of the Campbell sisters, and opted out of Worlds in 2022 in favor of the Commonwealth Games. Her Olympic title in 2020, in a time of 23.81, makes her one of the standard bearers for the event.<\/p>\n<p>China\u2019s <strong>Zhang Yufei<\/strong> is branching out into the 50, the butterfly star the fourth seed in 24.44. <strong>Michelle Coleman<\/strong> is fifth in 24.51, with <strong>Anna Hopkin<\/strong> a spot and a tenth back. The Netherlands\u2019 <strong>Marrit Steenbergen<\/strong> advanced from prelims in a fourth event this week, seventh in 24.63.<\/p>\n<p>Weitzeil won a quick first heat that saw six swimmers make the top 13. At the bottom of that bunch was <strong>Gretchen Walsh<\/strong> the 13th overall seed in 24.83. Hopkin was in that heat. <strong>Julie Keep Jensen<\/strong>, the 10th seed, and Walsh were in a quartet separated by .05 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>Jack handled the second heat, with Steenbergen and McKeon. <strong>Marie Wattel<\/strong> also made it out of that heat in 24.84 for 14th overall. <strong>Farida Osman<\/strong> and <strong>Yujie Chen<\/strong> tied for 15th. Sjostrom was a half-second better than Zhang in the final heat.<\/p>\n<p>Among the names on the wrong side of the cut line are <strong>Melanie Henique<\/strong> in 21st and <strong>Rikako
