Live recap of the day 5 finals

2022 USA World Championship Trials

SATURDAY NIGHT HEAT SHEETS

We have come to the final session of the 2022 USA International Trials. The World Championship team is nearly complete, but tonight’s session will determine who will represent Team USA in the final six events. Olympic champions Katie Ledecky and Bobby Finke are the big favorites in the women’s 1,500 freestyle and men’s 800 freestyle, respectively, but there will be a competition for second place in each race.

It’s going to be an exciting race in the women’s 200 IM, with Alex Walsh, Beata Nelson and Leah Hayes all capable of taking home the prize. The 200 IM could be a repeat of the 400 IM final, pitting Olympic 400 IM gold medalist Chase Kalisz against his young protege, Carson Foster.

We’ll end with the 50 freestyle final, where top seed Abbey Weitzeil is hoping to make the team. But she will have to beat a slew of young sprinters Erika Brown, Kate Douglass and Claire Curzan who all qualified ahead of her. Finally, we will have another match between Caeleb Dressel and Michael Andrew in the men’s 50 freestyle. Andrew qualified .03 faster, but Dressel is the American record holder for the event.

Ledecky and Grimes are now 1-2 in the world rankings for the 2021-22 season so far.

In the battle for second place behind Walsh, Leah Hayes moved from third in the 50 wall to second in the 100 after outscoring Nelson by one second, 33.0 to 34.0, on backstroke. She was 1.6 seconds faster in the breaststroke. Hayes held on for the final 50 yards and finished in second place at 2:09.99, becoming the first 15-16-year-old girl in United States history to clear the 2:10 barrier. In her post-race interview, the new national age group record holder shared an overwhelming sense of joy at being part of her first World Championship team.
