Duncan Scott, Matt Richards, and James Guy will lock horns in the latter, with Angharad Evans putting us on British record watch in the 100 breast after a phenomenal 200 breast swim earlier this week
Men’s 50 Fly
Jacob Peters did not quite spot his finish this morning, but still moved through fastest to tonight’s final after clocking 23.29. That sits just under half a second off his lifetime best of 22.84 from the 2023 World Championships.
Peters has already qualified for the European Championships and Commonwealth Games courtesy of his silver medal in the 100 fly, where he clocked 51.34 for his second-fastest swim ever. He will need to hit a time of 23.13 to qualify for Europeans in this event, but dipped under the 23.44 required for England’s Commonwealth Games team.
Also swimming under that time was Josh Gammon, who set a new lifetime best of 23.31 to place 2nd this morning. That sliced 0.13 seconds off the PB he set at this meet last year.
Kieran Grant of Scarborough, who was a surprise finalist in the 50 free last night after a huge PB in the heats, repeated the trick today to move through 3rd in 23.53. That lopped 0.82 seconds off his entry time of 24.53, and nearly half a second off his PB of 23.97 from the 2023 British Summer Championships.
Lewis Fraser was a little off his Welsh record as he placed 5th in 23.63, but was under the Welsh qualification time for the Commonwealth Games of 23.89. Ed Mildred, who was out in 23.87 as he won the 100 fly on Friday, was 23.81 for 6th. World Junior Champion Dean Fearn clocked 23.92 for 7th, off his Scottish record of 23.29.
Patrick Przyczyna, who has been on a tear in the backstroke events with a pair of age group records of 25.68/54.92 in the 100/200, set a lifetime best by nearly a second to go 24.71 this morning. That is just half a second off Dean Fearn‘s age group record of 24.22.
Women’s 100 Breast
Angharad Evans looked devastatingly smooth as she claimed the top seed in a 1:06.15, less than eight tenths of a second off her British record from this meet last year. She was out in a relatively casual 31.58, half a second off her record pace before closing in 34.57.
She owns a season best of 1:05.46 set at the Edinburgh International last month, and her British record of 1:05.37 looks on thin ice this evening. She has already set a massive lifetime best in the 200 breast to move to 9th all-time, clocking 2:19.70 to lower her lifetime best by 2.16 seconds and Molly Renshaw’s British record by 1.19 seconds.
Anna Morgan and Gabrielle Idle-Beavers will be either side of her, with Idle-Beavers sliced a second off her PB to go 1:08.12, dropping from her 1:09.21 entry time. Morgan was 1:07.99 to place 2nd, 0.63 seconds off her entry time, and will be hunting the 1:07.67 qualification time for the Scottish Commonwealth team.
Kara Hanlon will also be aiming for that time after posting 1:08.18 for 4th, nearly two seconds off her best of 1:06.36, with Welsh 17-year-old Theodora Taylor just off her 1:08.12 PB as she clocked 1:08.24 for 5th, under the Welsh qualification standard of 1:09.13.
Men’s 200 Back
Luke Greenbank defended his top seed in the men’s 200 back, clocking 1:58.00 to set a new season best. He was out in 57.26 before closing in 1:00.74, touching just over three and a half seconds off his best. He placed 5th on the 100 back earlier this week, touching in 54.32, and claimed bronze in the 200 fly in a lifetime best of 1:57.80.
Defending champion Ollie Morgan, who has not been beaten in a backstroke race at the British Championships since 2022, will be next to him in lane 5 after swimming 1:58.61 this morning. He was out even faster than Greenbank, clocking 57.07 at halfway before closing in 1:01.54. Speaking on commentary just after his race, he said that the aim tonight was to be out in about the same time as he was in the final last year, where he turned in 54.78.
Jack Skerry took third in 1:59.86, the final swimmer under 2:00, having gone out next to Greenbank in the final heat in 57.92. He has already qualified for the European Championships in the 50 back, setting a lifetime best of 24.66 to take silver in the final on day 4.
Cam Brooker was out fast in the first of the circle-seeded heats, flipping in 57.26 at the halfway point, before backing off on the second half of the race to touch in 2:00.32. He took third in both the 50 back and 100 back earlier this week, setting a lifetime best of 24.85 in the 50, and will be hunting his 1:57.94 PB tonight. He will need a 1:57.87 to qualify for the European Championships team, and 1:57.62 to qualify for the English Commonwealth team, but will have to finish in the top two tonight to make the team for the former.
Dan Ransom, who set a huge best of 1:59.11 in the 200 IM to near Tom Dean‘s British junior record, was 8th in 2:01.95, just off his PB of 2:01.68. Austyn Manley was less than half a second off Luke Greenbank‘s 15-year-olds age group record in the 200 back, clocking 2:02.50 to lower his PB by nearly a second. Manley owns the 14-year-olds record with the 2:03.44 he posted at this meet last year, and has already set a new lifetime best of 56.76 in the 100 back on day 3.
Women’s 50 Free
Eva Okaro was one of two women to break 25 seconds this morning, both of them recently returned from their NCAA season. Texas’ Okaro took top spot in 24.87 this morning, closely followed by Washington State’s Darcy Revitt in 24.96.
That was four tenths slower than Okaro’s best of 24.48 from this meet last year, while Revitt was 0.26 seconds off the 24.70 she swam at the U.S. Open in December. Okaro has already qualified for the European Championships in the 50 fly after hitting the qualification standard in 25.95 last night, but Revitt is yet to add her name to an international team for this summer. She was under the English Commonwealth standard of 25.09 this morning, so may do so in the final.
Theodora Taylor, less than an hour removed from qualifying 4th into the 100 breast final, was 3rd here in 25.00, just 0.28 seconds off her Welsh record of 24.72 from the World Junior Championships last summer. She has already set British age group records in the 200 free and 50 fly this week, as well as a Welsh record in the 200 IM last night.
Arkansas’ Harriet Rogers made it three NCAA swimmers in the top four, setting a new lifetime best of 25.17 for her first PB since 2023. Rebecca Guy was 5th in 25.23, just two tenths off her best of 25.02 from last season, and was the oldest competitor in the field at 33 years old. She was under the English Commonwealth standard, but will need to finish in the top three from her nation tonight.
Isabella Okaro made it two Okaro sisters in the final, with the University of Birmingham swimmer shaving 0.06 seconds off her PB to go 25.59.
Men’s 200 Free
James Guy claimed lane four for what should be an absolute humdinger tonight, with all eight finalists under 1:48 this morning. Guy was out fast in 51.43 and closed in 55.05 to go 1:46.48, a new season best and one of two men under 1:47.
The other man under 1:47 was Matt Richards, as the 100 free champion clocked 1:46.94 to win the final heat. Duncan Scott touched third in the heat in a time of 1:47.26, splitting 51.76/55.50.
Gabriel Shepherd will be in lane three after a two second PB to go 1:47.25, closing in a rapid 26.64 to out-touch Scott for 2nd behind Richards. He has been in red-hot form this week, clocking lifetime bests of 22.12 in the 50 free and 48.43 in the 100 free. He has already made it onto the team for the European Championships after placing 4th in the 100 free, and will be seeking to join the 4×200 free relay this summer.
Jack McMillan was 5th in 1:47.37, splitting 52.75/54.52, just ahead of Tyler Melbourne-Smith in 1:47.48. That was just 0.02 seconds off his PB from this meet last year for Melbourne-Smith, who has moved away from the 800 free and 1500 free this year to focus on the 200 free and 400 free, with the aim of being part of the 4×200 free relay.
Max Litchfield was 7th in 1:47.63, with Evan Jones in 8th in a time of 1:47.77. Jacob Mills, the 50 free champ, will be in the ‘B’ final after clocking 1:48.36, a lifetime best by almost a second. Charlie Hutchison, who won European U23 silver in 1:46.84 last summer, was 11th in 1:48.83, while 2022 world bronze medalist Joe Litchfield was 17th in 1:49.28 and has scratched out of the ‘B’ final.
Women’s 800 Free (Early Heats)
Grace Cummings repeated the trick from the 1500 free earlier in the week, dropping a big-time lifetime best to take the top seed out of the early heats in the 800 free. She dropped 17.40 seconds from her 9:09.33 entry time to go 8:51.91, one of only four swimmers to break 9:00 this morning.
Charlotte Surrell from the City of Birmingham dropped seven seconds to place 3rd in 8:57.56, with Bath’s Emily Johnson, the top seed this morning, dropping three seconds to clock 8:55.53. Ellie Hull, a teammate of Surrell, moved up to 61st on the British 14-year-olds list with a 9:04.09 for 9th.
