U.S. Nationals, Day 1 Prelims: Regan Smith Serves Leading 200 Fly<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tuesday morning brings the beginning of U.S. Nationals at the IU Natatorium, a five-day competition to select teams for this summer\u2019s World Aquatics Championships and other international events.<\/p>\n

The first morning session is on the light side, with just four events before distance in augmenting the program in the evening. It started with a quick time for Regan Smith<\/strong> in the 200 fly, an event in which the Olympic medalist entered holding the fastest seed by more than two seconds.<\/p>\n

Action from the morning:<\/p>\n

The Tuesday evening session will start at 4 p.m. with heats of the women\u2019s 800 free and the men\u2019s 1,500 free. That session ends at 5:45 p.m., with the evening finals starting at 7 p.m., including the fastest heat of those two distance events.<\/p>\n
