Sammon on his summer plans: "For the month of July, I'm looking toward a good month of training and taking a break from the racing. I'll compete at Nationals for two days and then Pan Pacs."

Women's 200m Butterfly - FINAL

2. Audrey Derivaux (Haddonfield, N.J. /Jersey Wahoos), 2:08.56

3.Tess Howley (Rockaway Beach, N.Y./Long Island Aquatic Club), 2:09.51

Shackell on perseverance this season: "It is definitely a battle, this meet has not been amazing. I'm coming off a rough 100 fly yesterday. My brother, Aaron, talked to me yesterday because I was really upset. He told me a lot about perseverance and how he's overcome his challenges. I feel like having a brother in a similar position that I'm in has helped me a lot. I'm really grateful for him and probably wouldn't have gone that time if we didn't talk."

Shackell on training in Colorado Springs: "It was definitely a weird trip because every time I've been up there we taper. Three weeks of really hard training was different. The trip was a lot of fun, we went on a lot of hikes and team bonding. I got really close to my teammates. I feel like even if we didn't taper, just having the altitude training really helps with the end of the 200 fly."

Shackell on swimming in Indy: "Honestly, I'm just really comfortable here. Being only 25 minutes from home is really nice. I go back between prelims and finals and sleep in my own bed. Now, I'm swimming in one of the best pools in the whole country and whole world."

Men's 200m Butterfly - FINAL

1. Ilya Kharun (Las Vegas, Nev./Sun Devil Swimming), 1:54.96

2. Dare Rose (Jersey City, N.J./Scarlet Aquatics), 1:56.31

3. Raekwon Noel (GUY), 1:56.62

Kharun on his race strategy: "Seeing Dare really helped me out. It made me push it a little bit more. I didn't really have a race strategy, I just wanted to keep it long and strong and that's exactly what I did."

Kharun on swimming for USA in October: "I'm super excited to be with a great group of people and I'm very excited to represent a very strong country. Go USA."

Women's 50m Freestyle - FINAL

1. Kate Douglass (Pelham, N.Y./New York Athletic Club), 23.59*

2. Gretchen Walsh (Nashville, Tenn./New York Athletic Club), 23.78

3. Anna Moesch (Green Brook, N.J./Greater Somerset County YMCA Storm), 24.20

American Record and World Record*

Douglass on her World Record: "I was hoping to go a best time but going a World Record, that was a lot faster than I thought I'd go tonight or ever. I'm just really excited."

Douglass on her expectations going into the race: "This morning's prelim swim got me really excited for tonight. I felt like I could go a best time. I never get to focus on just the 50 free so I think this shows that all of my practice of doing it after a 200 IM or 200 breaststroke has paid off. It definitely changes what I'm going to swim this summer."

Men's 50m Freestyle - FINAL

1. Van Mathias (Portland, Ore./Indiana Swim Club), 21.62

2. Michael Andrew  (Encinitas, Calif./MA Swim Academy), 21.78

3. Quintin McCarty (Colorado Springs, Colo./NC State University), 21.80

Mathias on his job and racing: "My job is so much harder than this. This is fun, it's only 21 seconds of exerting myself. I have to work 9-5, that's way harder than this." 

Mathias on his race and event selection: "Having to hold your breath the whole time, the 50 free is so much harder for me. I feel like I need to throw up after that one. 50 breaststroke is a lot easier."

Women's 200m Backstroke - FINAL

1. Isabelle Stadden (Blaine, Minn./Aquajets Swim Team), 2:04.91

2. Maggie Wanezek (Elm Grove, Wis./Wisconsin Aquatics), 2:06.05

3. Rylee Erisman (Windermere, Fla./Laker Swim), 2:07.00

Stadden on her race: "For the way I'm feeling, I was pretty happy with the time. It definitely hurt more than Fort Lauderdale but we're in a pretty solid chunk of training right now, so I'm pretty happy with it."

Stadden on her time in Virginia: "I'm just swimming freely and having fun. The biggest thing is trusting myself, my training and having my teammates by my side."

Men's 200m Backstroke - FINAL

1. Keaton Jones (Gilbert, Ariz./California Aquatics), 1:57.21

2. David King (Crozet Va./Cavalier Aquatics), 1:57.54

3. Cornelius Jahn (GER), 1:57.74

Jones on his race: "It hurt pretty bad, I felt really in control and smooth this morning so I thought I had more in the tank than that. In season races aren't exactly what you want to be but I'll take it. Coming home that quick tells me I'm in a good spot."

Jones on his summer: "I have two weeks of OPTC coming up so I'm in for some brutal training. I think I'm going to swim a couple of races at Nationals to get out there and get used to the pool. Then Pan Pacs, I'm excited."

Women's 400m Freestyle - FINAL

1. Katie Ledecky (Bethesda, Md./Gator Swim Club), 3:59.51

2. Kennedi Dobson (Levittown, Pa./Eastern Express Swim Team), 4:06.11

3. Mila Nikanorov (Castle Rock, Colo./Ohio State University), 4:07.27

Ledecky on her training: "It's been a long year for training, of course ups and downs throughout training. I'm just enjoying being at a meet and getting some good racing in."

Ledecky on her events: "I love swimming the 400 or even the 800 after swimming the mile in the week. The 800 tomorrow will even feel short."

Men's 400m Freestyle - FINAL

1. Aaron Shackell (Carmel, Ind./Carmel Swim Club), 3:48.14

2. Kieran Smith (Ridgefield, Conn./Gator Swim Club), 3:48.68

3. Max Carlsen (Las Vegas, Nev./NC State University), 3:50.04

Shackell on his training: "I think my coach Chris has put a a lot more aerobic into it. Taking away some power practices and really putting into some longer stuff. I think it really has helped, racing when I'm tired and not shaved. I think my best unshaved before that was 3:54. Dropping like 6 seconds from that was really good."

Shackell on training in Colorado Springs: "I think the OPTC really helped this race. I did a great job showing up every day, doing whatever the coaches gave me and having a good attitude about it. It showed."

Shackell on swimming in Indy with his family: "I enjoy being with my sister and my brother at this meet. Alex has had her ups and downs and I have my ups and downs and were always there for each other. I broke the National Record in this pool in high school.  I've had so many good swims in this pool. The Indy crowd is always here to support."

 

Day 2 Results: June 18, 2026

Men's 1500m Freestyle - FINAL

1. William Mulgrew (Walpole, Mass./Shawmut Aquatic Club), 15:07.68

2. Bobby Finke (Clearwater, Fla./Saint Petersburg Aquatics), 15:08.43

3. Carson Hick (White Rock, N.M./Kentucky Aquatics), 15:08.48

Mulgrew on his race: "It's really helpful when you have a great field out there. I think there was a group of four of us together through a good portion of the race. Seeing them was able to push me. Having raced a lot of them in the past, I knew I wanted to have a strong back-half. I was trying to make a move earlier enough to where I could create some separation."

Mulgrew on his racing this week: "It's been good, I'm in a pretty heavy block in the season right now. I'm trying to get some reps in the mile. I had the mile yesterday in prelims and again today, I tried to execute a game plan and I think I did pretty well."

Women's 100m Butterfly - FINAL

1. Gretchen Walsh (Nashville, Tenn./New York Athletic Club), 55.00

2. Claire Curzan (Cary, N.C./TAC Titans), 57.48

3. Torri Huske (Arlington, Va./New York Athletic Club), 57.54

Walsh on her race: "I was happy with that race. It's sometimes hard to put a swim like that in perspective. My best time is six or seven tenths faster but that time is something to be really proud of. It's really fun doing it in front of this crowd."

Walsh on her start: "Caeleb Dressel told me what matters most is the entry and I nail that every time. So who cares if I'm last getting off the block, as long as I'm smooth entering and it's clear water going out." 

Walsh on her double (100m Butterfly to 50m Backstroke): "I think this was good practice for me. I'm probably not going to be doing that 50 back again this summer, but Pan Pacs will have a lot of individual events followed by relays. I want to be primed for a double like that, to be my best individually but also for Team USA. Any racing is a good opportunity to practice that and 50 back is pretty fun too."

Men's 100m Butterfly - FINAL

1. Ilya Kharun (Las Vegas, Nev./Sun Devil Swimming), 50.61

2. Kaii Winkler (GER), 50.92

3. Dare Rose (Jersey City, N.J./Scarlet Aquatics), 51.19

Kharun on his race: "I'm feeling pretty good, just putting the work every single practice to get ready for Nationals.  And of course, getting ready to represent Team USA in October, which I'm really excited about."

Kharun on representing the USA: "The team is such a strong group of people. Everyone gets up and goes each time, like Gretchen Walsh and Quintin McCarty. I'm very excited to be representing such a strong country."

Kharun on training at ASU: "Herbie is is a a really smart coach, when it comes down to knowing what each person needs. He does specific practices for each athlete and that really works out."

1. Kate Douglass (Pelham, N.Y./New York Athletic Club), 2:21.65

2. Aimee Canny (RSA), 2:23.61

3. Alex Walsh (Nashville, Tenn./New York Athletic Club), 2:25.76

Douglass on her race: "I wasn't afraid to go out strong. I was thinking about it in warm-up and I knew it was going to hurt. I'm proud of myself for swimming it the way I did."

Douglass on race preparation: I think about stroke count every day in practice, so I know what I'm going to do in a race and I'm able to have that race plan."

Berkoff on Pan Pacs: "I always get a little nervous racing backstroke outside so I was very excited to have this meet for one last indoor competition before the end of summer. My goal at Pan Pacs is to go best times."

McCarty on his race: "On my last 25, I was just trying to hold on to the legs. I'm tired right now but I'm just going to go back and focus on everything that I put in. 

McCarty on American men's backstroke: "It's a fast field. All of America is fast in backstroke, so it's time that someone takes a step forward. My 50 is going to be there, I just have to keep focusing and hopefully be that guy one day for the 100. It will be hard, there is a lot of great talent, especially with Murph coming back, Diehl and some other great backstrokers in the field. I'm just really excited with where I am."

3. Aimee Canny (RSA), 4:38.09

Weyant on her race: "I was feeling a little rough this morning, so I didn't know what to expect tonight. I was feeling really smooth and strong in the first 200 so I tried to push on the back-half as much as possible. I just had to trust myself at the halfway point."

Weyant on her training block: "Yeah, it's been really tough. We've been doing a lot of race specific stuff, a lot of power and a big backstroke block. That was really my focus tonight, to have great tempo in backstroke."

Erisman on his race: "Super excited with where my back-end speed is at right now, my freestyle is super strong so it's just a great data point going forward in the season."

Erisman on his personal best time: "It's been a while since I swam this event, but it's really just consistent work day in and day out. It doesn't matter if it's a hard practice or a good practice, all that matters is the consistent work."

Ledecky on swimming in Indianapolis: "We've had a lot of great meets in Indy. I've made a lot of good memories here, from NCAA Championship with Stanford to a couple of World Records. I'm always happy to come to Indy."

3. Maximus Williamson (Southlake, Texas/Lakeside Aquatic Club ), 1:58.91

McDonald on his race: "That race felt great, a lot better than this morning. I was looking to improve in the breaststroke, I always struggle with it. I usually take the race out as fast as I possibly can, and make sure I don't get caught on that breaststroke leg. I really focused on throwing my hands forward more and doing little things that I learned from all of my coaches. It really helped a lot in that race."

McDonald on his race preparation: "For the past two months, the IU pools have been closed. I went up to Carmel and have been training with them for about a month and half. We were at the Olympic and Paralympic Training Center for a month, so I think the altitude has really helped me down here.
