Following a week of record-breaking performances, the 2025 Toyota National Championships concluded this evening in Indianapolis. Results from the meet determine 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 1500m Freestyle – FINAL

1 – Katie Ledecky (Bethesda, Md./Gator Swim Club), 15:36.76

 2 – Claire Weinstein (White Plains, N.Y./Sandpipers of Nevada), 16:01.96

 3 – Jillian Cox (Cedar Park, Texas/Longhorn Aquatics), 16:05.88

Ledecky on the leadership of the women’s team: “I think we have a great group going to Singapore. I think on the women’s side a very experienced group…(the veterans) will carry the (rookies) through. I know the men have some newcomers as well. It will be a lot of good energy, and I think we can set the tone for the rest of the quad. Not just the Worlds team, but also the (World University Games) team, and Juniors team. I think you can see here, there are so many great junior athletes coming up. We are one team, and I think that’s what we want. We want to set the tone as a whole team, a whole unit, this summer, and build from there.”

Ledecky on her and Bobby’s relationship: “I was telling coach (Anthony) Nesty today that I feel like I haven’t seen Bobby all week. Again, because our schedules have been so different. He was racing on one of my off days. I think we have a great thing going in Florida, great group of people. We’ve got a lot of people on teams for the rest of the summer. We will be able to stick together a little bit. I think we learn from each other, little things here and there…I would say we very rarely both have a great day on the same day. So there can be some days where Bobby’s really hurting and I’m having a great practice, or maybe because he’s hurting I get that little bit of motivation boost, and then there are days when he’s killing it. It can be interesting.”

Women’s 200m Individual Medley – FINAL

1 – Alex Walsh (Nashville, Tenn./New York Athletic Club), 2:08.45

2 – Phoebe Bacon (Chevy Chase, Md./Wisconsin Aquatics), 2:09.22

3 – Caroline Bricker (Colorado Springs, Colo./Alto Swim Club), 2:10.12

A. Walsh on her week: “It’s been pretty good. I’m excited to be swimming two events at Worlds, I feel like that will set me up for a pretty good week in Singapore. I’m happy that this meet is done and dusted, I feel like I have a lot of things to work on. A lot of things that are going to keep me motivated in this eight-week block of training. I’m just immediately refocusing.”

A. Walsh on her race: “For me, tonight, I definitely wanted to put up a better time than I did. I definitely faded on the way home, and wasn’t happy about that…I think I need to do more endurance training like I did a couple of years ago and just really hone in on my intensity in that event. Since I definitely have been really focusing on the breaststrokes a lot just to kind of switch things up, keep things interesting, and keep myself engaged. I’m hoping that all that breaststroke work will pay off in two short months. I wish I was faster…I’m ready to be faster.”

Bacon on her race: “(I was) trusting myself and staying in my lane. The last thing my coach said to me when I walked out was to just swim (my) race and that’s purely what I did. I took out my fly, went for it on the backstroke, held on for the breaststroke, and just brought it home on the freestyle.”

Bacon on her meet: “I thought I swam into this the entire meet. Coming off the 200 backstroke, there wasn’t any disappointment. You know, I gave it my all and I swam my race. It just so happen to not be top two, which I was okay with. Coming off my 100 back, it basically being the best I’ve ever been in six years, I was ecstatic. This 2 IM, it’s been a long time coming. I haven’t really gotten to swim it really tapered or anything, so it’s just become one of those really off events for me, and I want it to be something good. I guess this was the year.”

Men’s 200m Individual Medley– FINAL

1 – Shaine Casas (McAllen, Texas/Longhorn Aquatics), 1:55.73

2 – Carson Foster (Cincinnati, Ohio/Unattached), 1:55.76

 3 – Trenton Julian (Glendale Calif./Mission Viejo Nadadores), 1:57.59

Casas on the fastest time this year: “It was a good steppingstone. It was kind of like a big full-circle moment because two years ago, that was not the same story of this entire week. It’s nice to switch the narrative within the path I had been on, of barely making the team, to three individuals and a relay. I’m pumped about that, but the meet is over so we have to immediately move on to the next thing. I do have big goals for the summer and the next couple of years moving forward, so I have to keep that in mind and keep pushing forward. Job well done this week.”

Foster on the U.S. men: “This was a great meet. It’s hard to be super pumped with second when you come to these meets. For how much talk there’s been about the U.S. men struggling so bad, you know I went 1:53 (in the 200 Butterfly), 1:45 (in the 200 Freestyle), 4:07 (in the 400 IM), and 1:55 (in the 200 IM) and I didn’t win a single event here. The U.S. men are pretty strong, so I think that’s encouraging. It’s a great week of swimming for all of us, so I’m really excited for Worlds.”

Men’s 800m Freestyle – FINAL

1 – Bobby Finke (Clearwater, Fla./Saint Petersburg Aquatics), 7:43.13

2 – Rex Maurer (Pasadena, Calif./Longhorn Aquatics), 7:49.53

3 – David Johnston (Dallas, Texas/Longhorn Aquatics), 7:49.85

Finke on Ledecky’s swim: “Katie is just doing Katie things. What did you win by today? 25 seconds? It’s always a pleasure to watch Katie and how she races. You know, I try to take a little bit of inspiration into my own races. It’s always a pleasure, she had a great meet.”

Women’s 50m Freestyle – FINAL

1 – Gretchen Walsh (Nashville, Tenn./New York Athletic Club), 23.91*

2 – Torri Huske (Arlington, Va./Arlington Aquatic Club), 23.98

3 – Kate Douglass (Pelham, N.Y./New York Athletic Club), 24.04

*American record (tied)

Douglass’s assessment of her week: “I am pretty happy with the results now. My first few races I wasn’t very proud of, but looking back on this whole meet, I came here and accomplished what I wanted to, which was to make the team in multiple events. I can’t complain about that!”

Men’s 50m Freestyle – FINAL

1 – Jack Alexy (Mendham, N.J./California Aquatics), 21.36

2 – Santo Condorelli (Jacksonville, Fla./Unattached), 21.68

3 – Jonny Kulow (Lander Wyo./Sun Devil Swimming), 21.73

Condorelli on what motivated him to swim at U.S. Nationals: “My father and I’s goal going into Paris was our goal (to swim for USA). That was always our goal, and unfortunately, we weren’t able to do that. I lost my father back in January, so, it felt like I had no choice but to at least try. It’s a weird feeling because I’m almost more at peace doing it for myself. I love my dad and his motivation, but I know he was with me tonight.”
