Watson will have her work cut out for her, however, as there were two other 2:12’s in prelims this morning.
Moving into the men’s 200 fly, rising Wisconsin freshman Enzo Solitario was dominant this morning, ripping a 1:57.54. There were 4 other swimmers who went under 2:00 this morning in prelims, however, it would seem Solitario has established himself as the favorite.
The women’s 50 back should be one of the most exciting races of the night. Brynn Lavigueur, Teagan O’Dell, Maggie Dickinson, and Gabi Brito were all 28.7, 28.8, or 28.9 tonight. In the men’s 50 back, Nashville Aquatic Club’s Blake Amlicke clocked a 25.60 this morning to lead the field.
SwimMAC Carolina’s Elle Scott was the top swimmer in the women’s 100 breast this morning, swimming a 1:09.15. There were, however, 3 other swimmers who went under 1:10 this morning. Memphis Thunder’s Ian Call ripped a 1:00.61 in the men’s 100 breast this morning, which puts him as the top seed tonight by nearly a full second.
Kayla Han comes in as the top seed in the women’s 800 free by 6 seconds. Bucky Gettys will be our top seed in the men’s 1500 free.

Mallard got out to an early lead, splitting 1:01.12 on the opening 100, which led the field by well over a second. While fellow 17-year-old Alyce Lehman (Jersey Wahoos) came back faster than Mallard, the lead Mallard had built on the opening half of the race was too much to be overcome.
Lehman wound up taking 2nd with a 2:10.82. A Stanford recruit for 2026, Lehman’s swim tonight was a personal best as well, taking down her previous mark of 2:11.61.
Coming in 3rd was Bellevue Club’s Clare Watson, also 17. Another Stanford 2026 recruit, Watson clocked a 2:11.83 tonight, coming in just off her career best of 2:11.64. She set her personal mark back at the 2023 World Junior Championships.
In 4th was Tennessee Aquatics’ Ellie Stanley, who is just 15 years old. Stanley had a huge swim tonight, taking 4th in 2:12.18, which blew away her previous personal best of 2:14.28.

After coming into the meet with a personal best of 2:01.30, Solitario ripped a 1:57.54 this morning. He was right on that time tonight, clocking a 1:57.57, which was enough to hang on for the win. Solitario was out quick tonight, splitting 55.49 on the opening 100, which was the fastest split in the field.
Carmel’s Andrew Shackell had a great swim for 2nd tonight, clocking a new personal best of 1:57.80. That swim marks Shackell’s first time under 1:58 in the event. He was inching up on Solitario over the final 100 of the race, out-splitting him 1:01.61 to 1:02.08 over the back half, but it was quite enough for Shackell to get his hands on the wall first.
15-year-old Charlie Cancelmo was exceptional tonight, taking 3rd with a 1:58.27. That swim is a new personal best for the youngster, taking a full second off his previous best of 1:59.29, which he swam this morning in prelims. Cancelmo pulled ahead of Shackell at the 150, thanks to a 29.99 split on the 3rd 50, which was the fastest 3rd 50 split in the field by nearly a full second.
