But especially on the women\u2019s side, there\u2019s one name lurking poised to spring a surprise that could disrupt the 1-2 running order in both events in the morning.<\/p>\n<p>The full recap from Centro Aquatico in Santiago, Chile:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/results-santiago2023.org\/#\/discipline\/SWM\/schedule\/daily\/2023-10-22\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Full Results<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/pan-american-games-day-1-paige-madden-sets-meet-record-in-thrilling-400-free\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Day One Finals Recap<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/pan-american-games-day-2-maggie-macneil-mary-sophie-harvey-double-up-on-gold-for-canada\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Day Two Finals Recap<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/pan-american-games-day-3-finals-maggie-macneil-breaks-meet-record-in-100-free\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Day Three Finals Recap<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Women\u2019s 50 Freestyle<\/h4>\n<p>Americans sit 1-2, with <strong>Catie De Loof<\/strong> leading <strong>Gabi Albiero<\/strong> to the wall. De Loof went 24.79 to post the top time, Albiero following in 25.03. De Loof was the bronze medalist in the 100 free.<\/p>\n<p>But all eyes will be on 100 free and 100 fly champ <strong>Maggie MacNeil.<\/strong> She coasted into the final in third in 25.28. Her best time is 24.79 from Canadian Trials this summer, her only sub-25 swim career.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stephanie Balduccini,<\/strong> the 100 free silver medalist, was fifth in prelims, behind countrywoman <strong>Cristina Versiani.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4>Men\u2019s 50 Freestyle<\/h4>\n<p>Again it\u2019s Americans in the top two spots. Leading the way is <strong>Jonny Kulow,<\/strong> who went 21.90. That\u2019s just .03 off his best time from this summer. The Arizona State sprinter won silver in the 100 free.<\/p>\n<p><strong>David Curtiss<\/strong> is the second seed after a 22.10. He\u2019s a tenth up on <strong>Alberto Mestre<\/strong> of Venezuela, followed by <strong>Gabriel Castano<\/strong> of Mexico in 22.38. <strong>Victor Alcara<\/strong> (22.46) and <strong>Gui Caribe<\/strong> (22.47) of Brazil are also in the mix.<\/p>\n<h4>Women\u2019s 400 Individual Medley<\/h4>\n<p>The only American in the race, <strong>Lucy Bell,<\/strong> posted the top time of the morning. She clocked in at 4:49.68, edging by a tenth the winner of the heat after her, Canada\u2019s <strong>Julie Brousseau.<\/strong> Those two should duke it out in the final.<\/p>\n<p>Third was <strong>Nathalia Siqueira Almeida<\/strong> of Brazil in 4:51.33, a tenth up on teammate <strong>Gabrielle Roncatto.<\/strong> Puerto Rico\u2019s <strong>Kristen Romano<\/strong> was fifth, 2.80 seconds off the pace.<\/p>\n<h4>Men\u2019s 400 Individual Medley<\/h4>\n<p>Olympic silver medalist <strong>Jay Litherland<\/strong> is in the driver\u2019s seat with a time of 4:21.48 from prelims. He\u2019s .66 seconds ahead of Canada\u2019s <strong>Collyn Gagne,<\/strong> and <strong>Ian Grum<\/strong> of the U.S. was third in 4:22.35. Both Brazil\u2019s <strong>Brandonn Almeida<\/strong> (4:22.46) and <strong>Erick Gordillo<\/strong> of Guatemala (4:22.59) appear to be in the medals mix.<\/p>\n<h4>Women\u2019s 800 Freestyle Relay<\/h4>\n<p>Canada is hoping to go 2-for-2 in the relays, and they\u2019ve started themselves off in fine position. The foursome of <strong>Katerine Savard, Brooklyn Douthwright, Emma O\u2019Croinin<\/strong> and <strong>Sydney Pickrem<\/strong> set the pace in 8:05.98, 1.42 seconds up on the Americans. That\u2019s with 200 free individual champ <strong>Mary-Sophie Harvey<\/strong> and possibly <strong>Maggie MacNeil<\/strong> to be added to the mix.<\/p>\n<p>The Americans were second in 8:07.40, with <strong>Amy Fulmer, Rachel Stege, Olivia Bray<\/strong> and <strong>Kelly Pash.<\/strong> There\u2019s a massive gap back to third place, though Cuba hopped up impressively into the spot thanks to a 2:02.34 from <strong>Andrea Becali<\/strong> in the second leg. Brazil is fourth but with significant changes to the prelims lineup likely.<\/p>\n<h4>Men\u2019s 800 Freestyle Relay<\/h4>\n<p>There\u2019s no way around the shock of seeing the United States in fourth place after prelims, even if only seven teams stepped to the starting line. Expect major changes from the foursome of <strong>James Plage, Mason Laur, Luke Miller<\/strong> and <strong>Chris O\u2019Connor<\/strong> after a dismal 7:32.57 that left them 10.19 seconds adrift of the Brazilians.<\/p>\n<p>Brazil, with a fairly strong squad, led the way in 7:22.38. <strong>Luiz Altamir Lopez, Fernando Scheffer, Leonardo Coelho<\/strong> and <strong>Felipe Ribeiro de Souza<\/strong> comprised that squad, the first two being the only swimmers in the race to break 1:50. Canada was second in 7:25.45 with Mexico third in 7:30.47.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pan American Games, Day 4 Prelims: American Sprinters in Strong Positions American sprinters are in strong positions in both 50 freestyle events after the fourth day of preliminaries at the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8367,"featured_media":531615,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[122077,7],"tags":[132346,133254,57050,52872,133264,67970,62948,71981,65116,37335,121577,102998,68469],"class_list":["post-571512","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-americas","category-usa","tag-2023-pan-am-games","tag-2023-pan-american-games","tag-alberto-mestre","tag-brandonn-almeida","tag-catie-de-loof","tag-collyn-gagne","tag-david-curtiss","tag-gabi-albiero","tag-ian-grum","tag-jay-litherland","tag-jonny-kulow","tag-lucy-bell","tag-maggie-macneil"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) -
