Tonight, we’ll be treated to a schedule containing the men’s 1500m free, women’s 50m back, women’s 200m breast, men’s 100m back, women’s 200m free and men’s 100m free events.
START LIST
The prelims of the men’s 100m free nearly set the London Aquatics Centre pool on fire, as we were already treated to a pair of sub-48-second swims.
National record holder, 23-year-old Olympic multi-medalist Matt Richards, staked his claim on the title, ripping a mark of 47.61 as the top seed.
That already came just .17 outside of the 47.45 British standard he established in 2023.
Behind him was 18-year-old Jacob Mills, with the two-time individual medalist from last year’s World Junior Championships, scorching a new lifetime best of 47.72 to claim the second seed.
Mills’ morning effort erased the teen’s former PB of 47.74 from last year in Otopeni to remain GBR’s #3 performer of all-time.
400m free champion James Guy popped a new PB of 48.38 en route to claiming the 4th seed, with his Olympic teammate Jack McMillan touching slightly ahead of him in 48.37 as the 3rd seed.
We’ll see what the men have stored in their tanks for tonight’s main event, where not only individual qualification but European Championships relay qualification is also on the line.
Another national record holder, 22-year-old Ollie Morgan brought the heat in the heats of the men’s 100m back. He scorched a mark of 52.79 to fall just over half a second outside his best-ever.
He’ll be chased by the likes of Matthew Ward, Jack Skerry, Luke Greenbank and Cameron Brooker in tonight’s medal-contending race.
On the women’s side, national record holder Angharad Evans looked in control of the 200m breast heats, with Abbie Wood and Kara Hanlon also in the mix.
Both Freya’s – Freya Colbert and Freya Anderson– are among the 200m free pack, along with contenders Leah Schlosshan, Theodora Taylor and 200m fly qualifier here, Emily Richards.
