2026 Indianapolis Pro Series
June 17-20, 2026 Indianapolis, IN LCM (50 meters) Meet Central Psych Sheets Live Results Live Stream: USA Swimming Network (Downloadable App)Day 1 Prelims Heat Sheet
Two years ago, the 2024 US Olympic Trials kicked off in Indianapolis, and while the field isn’t as strong as it was then, (maybe perhaps because the pool isn’t built on the field), the stars of USA swimming are still out in force as the 2026 Pro Swim Series comes to its conclusion after holding previous stops in Austin, Texas, Westmont, Illinois, and Sacramento, California. I draw your attention to the 2024 Olympic Trials because, with them being two years removed, that also means we are just two years away from the next iteration of the meet, a meet also slated to occur in Indianapolis. However, let’s not jump too far ahead, as there is plenty of fast swimming left to be watched in the coming years, so without further ado…
Good morning Swim Friends and welcome to the first day of the 2026 Pro Swim Series – Indianapolis. We have plenty of fast swimming to cover this morning, despite some high-profile scratches, including that of Katie Ledecky, who has dropped out of the 200 free this morning, an event in which she was the top seed. That said, the event is still a who’s who of top talent as Erin Gemmell, now occupying the top spot looks to hold off the charge of both established and up and coming talent. Joining her in holding off the youthful charge of Rylee Erisman, Liberty Clark, Alex Shackell and Madi Mintenko are the 2nd and 3rd seeds Anna Peplowski and Torri Huske, who at 23 are amongst the oldest swimmers in the field, trailing only two-time Olympian Emma Weyant.
Huske, a two-time Olympian herself, has a full day, as she equals her 3rd seed in the 200 free, with her billing as the 3rd seed in the first event, the 200 IM. In this event too, the recent Stanford graduate has to look to hold off a hungry youthful field as she faces off against 16-year-old Audrey Derivaux in her heat. The pair will have to put up some fast times, as they are set to appear in the first of three circle-seeded heats, with the likes of Phoebe Bacon, Caroline Bricker, Leah Hayes and Kate Douglass, the top seed, all in later heats. That said, the top seeds may be chasing some results from the first heat, as Anna Moesch and Charlotte Hook are both entered in the event with yards times.
Douglass, like Huske, was slated for a double, but pulled out of the 50 breaststroke, where she was the 4th seed, leading her training partner Emma Weber to square off against her ACC rivals Eneli Jefimova, Skyler Smith and Caroline Larsen. The women’s 100 back, too, is an ACC battle as Isabelle Stadden, a Cal product now training at UVA, is the top seed but is surrounded by threats as her training partner Claire Curzan looks to help the Cavaliers hold off the Wolfpack quartet of Katharine Berkoff, Leah Shackley, Rhyan White and Erika Pelaez. Don’t sleep on the Wisconsin duo of Maggie Wanezek and Phoebe Bacon, as the pair have looked strong this season.
On the men’s side Kieran Smith leads the way in the 200 IM, an event that has a much more international field than the women’s event, as he hopes to earn a berth in the finals against the likes of Tristan Jankovics and Dominik Torok. He’ll be pressed by a resurgent Grant House as well as NCAA stars Owen McDonald and Maximus Williamson, so expect some fast prelim swims.
Expect nothing different in the men’s 50 breaststroke as Van Mathias leads a strong Indiana University group, helping the school retain its moniker as Breaststroke U with the likes of Alexei Avakov, Travis Gulledge, and Hoshe Mathey joining the American record holder in the event. Speaking of American record holders, the 100 backstroke record holder, Ryan Murphy returns to action in just his 2nd meet in as many years. Murphy jumped into the pool in Sacramento for the first time since the Paris Olympics, placing 2nd in the 100 back. He will look to do better tonight as he squares off against a young field that will be looking to set themselves up for a run at the World team next year, with the likes of Gavin Keogh, Daniel Diehl, and David King looking to challenge the Cal product’s dominance in the event.
Murphy isn’t the lone Cal swimmer in the event, as Destin Lasco and Keaton Jones are well positioned to join Murphy in the final. Cal, like so many of the NCAA runners, is as well-positioned in the backstroke events as they are in the 200 free, where Lasco is set to pull off a quick double. The 5th seed, Lasco will be joined in a hunt for a top 8 finish by training partners, Gabriel Jett, the top seed, Brooks Curry, Lucas Heveraux and Ryan Erisman while Aaron Shackell and Henry McFadden attempt to prevent Cal’s stranglehold in this event.

As teased above, heat 1 had some heads turning as Anna Moesch opened in a very speedy 27.99, building a body-length lead at the 50-meter mark. By the 100, Moesch had built a 1.61-second lead over lane 2’s Hannah Carpenter, a 16-year-old from the Memphis Tigers, and hit the halfway mark in 1:03.94. The UVA swimmer was pressed on the breaststroke by Hazel Ozkan, whose 38.88 outsplit Moesch by nearly three seconds and briefly caused her to lose the lead, but Moesch, the American record holder in the 100 free, closed in 29.37 to take back the lead and win the heat in 2:14.97, a two-and-a-half-second drop from her four-year-old PB. Ozkan took 2nd in the heat at 2:17.76.
