If you’re a fan of Summer McIntosh, don’t worry as you’ll be getting a double dose of her today as she is the top seed in both the 400 IM and 200 Backstroke and will bookend the morning.
The World Record holder in the 400 IM and defending Olympic Gold Medalist, McIntosh is the top seed by over 10 seconds, and while she has been on fire this week, already updating the World Record board, twice, one should modify your expectations as she likely will cruise this morning to save energy both for tonight and for the 200 back.
Mary-Sophie Harvey is the 2nd seed and based on her performances this week looks good to not only make the final but also to book yet another event for her busy schedule in Singapore. 3rd seed and 2024 Paris Olympian Ella Jansen, 1.5 seconds back, may differ as she, too, has already secured her place on the roster and will be looking to add another swim to the schedule.
Already having secured his spot by way of his second-place finish in the 200 IM Tristan Jankovics, like McIntosh, will swim a smooth and controlled race, doing only enough to advance into tonight’s final. Lorne Wigginton, the #2 seed, is still hunting for that spot on the team, and while seeded well below the A cut time, he will need to be careful because not far back is Collyn Gagne, who is looking at this event as his last chance to make the roster.
We stick with the medley events, as the next four events are the Para 150 and 200 IM events. Jamie Cosgriffe and Nicholas Bennett lead their respective fields in the 200 IM, but as a Multi-Class field, swimmers are more interested in performing well against the WR in their classification than against one another.
We flip the usual order as the men’s 200 backstroke will swim before the women’s. The top seed Blake Tierney, #3 seed Ethan Ekk, and #4 seed Cole Pratt have all made the team under Priority 3, but each has a chance of adding another event to their line-up. Tierney is seeded under the A cut, but so too is Aiden Norman, who has yet to book his spot to Singapore, so expect the #2 seed to get out to a strong start tonight to put himself in the best position possible tonight.
The top two seeds, Summer McIntosh and Mabel Zavaros are most likely quite happy that the women’s event has flip-flopped with the men’s, as both are scheduled to swim in the 400 IM earlier in the session. McIntosh has picked up this event recently of late, having won the silver medal at the 2024 Short Course Worlds. Seeded at a 2:06.81, McIntosh, like in the 400 IM, will likely do just enough to get a middle lane tonight, but Zavaros may not have the same options to do so.
Still looking for a ticket to Singapore, Zavaros is seeded .04 under the A cut time, while Kylie Masse‘s absence makes the field open, Madison Kryger, Delia Lloyd, Ingrid Wilm and Bridget Burton are all seeded within a second of Zavaros, so will be looking to make the best of the opportunity, especially as of the four, only Wilm has secured a spot to Singapore.
