As is the case whenever she is set to race, all eyes will be on Summer McIntosh tonight. She is the top seed in the 400 IM and is on high alert for a world junior record and maybe even a world record. Her best time is a 4:28.61 from December 2022, which is the current world junior record and only seconds away from Katinka Hosszu‘s 4:26.36.
Before McIntosh’s swim, we will see Kylie Masse, Ella Varga, Ingrid Wilm, and others face off in the 200 backstrokes, each trying to hit the 2:11.08 FINA A standard. Then it’ll be the men’s 200 backstroke where Richie Stokes holds the top seed courtesy of his 1:59.55 morning swim. The fourth event of the meet is the men’s 400 IM and then we’ll close out with the multi-class 150 and 200 IMs.
