Tonight’s agenda includes the men’s 50m back, women’s 50m fly, men’s 100m fly, women’s 400m free, men’s 200m IM and women’s 200m back, which means multiple Olympians and World Championship swimmers are back in the water.
START LIST
Last night we saw two British national records fall, both on the women’s side, with Angharad Evans cracking a mark of 2:19.70 to produce the first-ever 200m breaststroke performance under the 2:20 barrier. Freya Colbert also made major noise, hitting a lifetime best of 1:54.34 for a new national standard in the women’s 200m free.
Half of tonight’s events own British national records that date back to the 2009 supersuit era, including the men’s 50m back, women’s 400m free and women’s 200m back, and it would be extra special if one of these bit the dust.
Already the 100m back champion here, Ollie Morgan will try to double up with a win in the 50m back. His morning swim of 24.67 represented the sole outing of the field to delve under the 25-second barrier, although Jack Skerry is ranked just behind with his AM effort of 25.05.
Eva Okaro holds a narrow advantage over the women’s 50m fly field, courtesy of the 26.35 she put up to land the pole position.
Harriet Rogers touched a hair behind to claim the 2nd seed in 26.37, with Ciara Schlosshan, Lucy Grieve and Theodora Taylor among those very much in the mix.
Lucy Fox will try to hold off Colbert in the women’s 200m fly, as teenagers Amelie Blocksidge and Amalie Smith look to add another piece of hardware to their collection.
Then the 200m IM will feature Olympic multi-silver medalist in the event, Duncan Scott, as the versatile veteran hit 1:58.85 as one of three sub-2:00 swimmers in the heats.
Evan Jones picked up the 2nd seed in 1:59.35 and the 400m IM victor here, Max Litchfield, was also under that threshold in 1:59.60.
This is most likely Scott’s race to lose, although Matthew Ward, Charlie Hutchison and Filip Nowacki will do their best to rain on the Stirling star’s parade.
Finally, in the women’s 200m back, this morning’s heats played their cards close to their chest, with only Katie Shanahan dipping below 2:12 in 2:11.96 as the woman to beat.
