The meet will select rosters for three upcoming international meets: the World Aquatics Championships, the World University Games, and the World Aquatics Junior Swimming Championships.

See below for the qualifications for the 2025 World Aquatics Championships.

 Women’s 400m Individual Medley – FINAL

1 – Emma Weyant (Sarasota, Fla./University of Florida), 4:34.81

2 – Katie Grimes (Las Vegas, Nev./Cavalier Aquatics), 4:37.22

3 – Leah Hayes (Sugar Grove, Ill./Cavalier Aquatics), 4:38.46

Men’s 400m Individual Medley – FINAL

1 – Bobby Finke (Clearwater, Fla./Saint Petersburg Aquatics), 4:07.46

2 – Carson Foster (Cincinnati, Ohio/Unattached), 4:07.92

3 – Rex Maurer (Pasadena, Calif./Longhorn Aquatics), 4:09.65

Finke on his thought process going into the race: “I just wanted to have fun and race the guys around me. I am racing Carson (Foster), one of the best in the world, one of the best to ever do it. Racing him always gets the best out of me, glad to be able to race him and put a good effort forward.”

Finke on the last 100: “Carson was holding on really well, so I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to catch up to him at first, but I was slowly and slowly chipping away.”

Women’s 100m Butterfly – FINAL

1 – Gretchen Walsh (Nashville, Tenn./New York Athletic Club), 54.76*

2 – Torri Huske (Arlington, Va./Arlington Swim Club), 56.61

3 – Alex Shackell (Carmel, Ind./Carmel Swim Club), 57.71

*Championship record

Walsh on setting a championship record: “I feel good, I feel that every time I swim that race, it’s all about fine-tuning details and finding areas to get better. I didn’t go a best time, but I’m not too pressed about it because I want to be faster at Worlds anyway. Leaving room in the tank. It’s been a long meet, and I am looking forward to getting back home and starting training to get geared up for Worlds.”

Walsh on training the past few months: “Honestly, it has been really good. We have such a big group training together at UVA, so I never really felt alone in this journey. We have so many people swimming well at this meet, so there is a lot of momentum on our team and a great deal of excitement for the summer. That helped me a lot because the transition from short course to long course can be pretty brutal. There were some tough weeks, but I felt really good in practice and very confident. Swimming in Fort Lauderdale (at the TYR Pro Swim Series) gave me a lot of confidence for this meet. I just wanted to be as good as I was in Fort Lauderdale, and I have done that, so I am happy.”

Men’s 100m Butterfly – FINAL

1 – Shaine Casas (McAllen, Texas/Longhorn Aquatics), 50.51

2 – Thomas Heilman (Crozet Va./Cavalier Aquatics), 50.70

3 – Dare Rose (Jersey City, N.J./California Aquatics), 51.06

Women’s 50m Breaststroke – FINAL

1 – Lilly King (Evansville, Ind./Indiana Swim Club), 29.88

2T – McKenzie Siroky (Livonia, Mich./Tennessee Aquatics), 30.43

2T – Emma Weber (Denver, Colo./Cavalier Aquatics), 30.43

King on her race: “It was good. Any time I can get under 30 (seconds) is a great race…I got off fast from the start and kept it rolling. I like to win, and any time I get to do that is special, and to do it in front of the crowd here is fun.”

King on her veteran career: “Every season gets a little bit worse and worse and worse in the season. That is something that is really difficult, I think, to work through as an aging swimmer. It’s keeping that confidence when you aren’t hitting those in-season times you were hitting three, four, five years ago. I am just proud of myself for being able to get over that hump, that mental block.”

Men’s 50m Breaststroke – FINAL

1 – Campbell McKean (Bend, Ore./Bend Swim Club), 26.90

2 – Michael Andrew (Encinitas, Calif./Sun Devil Swimming), 26.92

3 – Brain Benzing (Ellicott City, Md./Indiana Swim Club), 27.40

McKean on making his first World Championship team: “It means a lot. I made Junior Pan Pacs last year, and I set myself a goal in Fort Lauderdale (at the TYR Pro Swim Series) that I could make the National Team. I just went for it and made it.”

McKean on stepping into a leadership breaststroke role: “I think it’s great to fill the hole that America needs (in breaststroke races). It’s going to be really fun.”

Women’s 50m Backstroke – FINAL

1 – Katharine Berkoff (Missoula, Mont./Wolfpack Elite), 26.97*

2 – Regan Smith (Lakeville, Minn./Longhorn Aquatics), 27.20

3 – Claire Curzan (Cary, N.C./Tac Titans), 27.26

*American record

Berkoff on her American record: “I was really excited with (that race). That was the goal, to go under :27. I wanted to be a tiny bit faster, but it’s good motivation for five weeks from now. Honestly, it was a super weird race because I couldn’t see where anyone was, and I felt kind of weird. I didn’t expect to see that time when I hit the wall, but I was really happy with it.”

Berkoff on her training: “It’s been more of a trust-the-process year. Without the NCAA season, I’m depending more on trusting that the training is working because it’s a lot more yardage and back-end work than what I was used to. The start of a four-year cycle will be like that. I’ve kind of struggled at meets for a while there. I think training went really well this year, but it’s just really hard mentally.”

Men’s 50m Backstroke – FINAL

1 – Quintin McCarty (Colorado Springs, Colo./Wolfpack Elite), 24.34

2 – Shaine Casas (McAllen, Texas/Longhorn Aquatics), 24.44

3 – Will Modglin (Zionville, Ind./Longhorn Aquatics), 24.76

McCarty on being part of a backstroke legacy: “It was a lot of fun, I think that the whole field out there – especially backstroke in general for the USA, is has always been very strong and it feels good to be a part of that crew. Everyone in that heat threw down fast times throughout the years. I remember racing some of those guys, even when I was 13, 14, 15, and 16. All the competitors out there just did a really good job. It’s safe to say we all train our butts off day in and day out and it’s really, really fun. At the end of the day, I had a really good race, touched the wall, and I was really excited with my time. All the glory to God, I've been through my ups and downs, everyone has their fair share of them, but I really prevailed and touched the wall as fast as I could today, and it got me a pretty quick time.”

Competition continues through Saturday at the Indiana University Natatorium. Prelims begin at 10 a.m. ET, while finals start at 7 p.m. ET. Tomorrow’s action includes the women’s and men’s 400m freestyle, 100m breaststroke, and 100m backstroke. Meet information and the complete competition schedule are available here.
