1. Katie Grimes (Las Vegas, Nev./Cavalier Aquatics/Piedmont Family YMCA), 15:55.69

2. Kate Hurst (Hillsdale, N.J./Longhorn Aquatics), 16:04.46

3. Gena Jorgenson (Aberdeen, S.D./Club Husker), 16:12.73

Grimes on her race: "I feel okay about the race. I wanted to be a little bit faster than that. I wanted to get out and try and make speed changes and have a negative split effort. I was out a little bit faster than I was anticipating."

Grimes on the meet: "I'm happy with it; it was definitely fun. It was good to race and see how good I'd be before Pan Pacs. I'm excited to taper and chill out."

Women's 200m Individual Medley - FINAL

1. Alex Walsh (Nashville, Tenn./New York Athletic Club), 2:08.59

2. Campbell Chase (Dallas, Texas/Longhorn Aquatics), 2:10.09

3. Teagan O'Dell (Chino Hills, Calif./Pleasanton Seahawks), 2:10.20 

Walsh on her race: I'm really happy with my swim. I wanted to be a 2:08; I felt really strong this morning with my 2:10. I think I put myself in a really good position to swim that again in a 2:08. I'm feeling good about it." 

Walsh on her birthday swim: "I signed myself up to do that. I was like, Todd, I think I should do the 400 IM and 200 free before Pan Pacs just to get another rep in. We decided on the 400 IM, and I did it and really regretted it in the moment. I wish I had been under 4:40, but 4:45 is fine. I didn't really swim it that well, so I feel like I can be 4:35 sub, 4:35 again. Hopefully a best time for me since I haven't competed internationally in a few years. I'm actually really looking forward to swimming that at Pan Pacs."

Walsh on altitude training: "Our pool in Charlottesville actually shut down, so the OPTC ended up being a really good option for half our team, getting in some good altitude training. I definitely feel like it's paying off; I feel really good in the water, really smooth. That is the first time I've done a long, long altitude camp, so I'm excited to see how it pays off at the end of the season."

Men's 200m Individual Medley - FINAL

1. Maximus Williamson (Southlake, Texas/Lakeside Aquatic Club), 1:56.40

2. Owen McDonald (Alpharetta, Ga./Indiana Swim Club), 1:57.68

3. Kieran Smith (Ridgefield, Conn./Ridgefield Aquatic Club), 1:58.36

Williamson on his race: "I wanted to go out smooth in the butterfly and then just another 50 all out. Most of my training I've been working on back and breast, and I'll always have my freestyle leg to bring me home. So back to breast is my main focus." 

Williamson on his events at the Toyota National Championships: "I think it was all set up for me to swim a good 200 IM. Just really getting all around work to make myself an all-around better swimmer."

Walsh on her meet: "I'm just so happy to be here, honestly. It's so nice to be a beautiful pool, amazing weather and fans. It gets me really excited for Pan Pacs. This is the kind of environment that I thrive in, so I'm just getting a taste of that. I'm really excited to get some rest next week and come back better for the Pan Pac crowd."

3. Nikita Sheremet (University of Louisville), 21.76

Dressel on getting his confidence back: " Yeah, I'm really happy with it. My goal for wrapping up the year was to get some confidence back. We were checking the boxes throughout training and even putting up swims on the way, but I never had my confidence fully back. I needed this week; it wasn't necessarily the times. I think it was a bunch of things that accumulated to finally have the year wrapped up and finally get my confidence back." 

Day 4 Results: July 31, 2026

Women's 400m Freestyle - FINAL

1. Madi Mintenko (Colorado Springs, Colo./ Cavalier Aquatics/Piedmont Family YMCA), 4:04.54

3. Cavan Gormsen (Wantagh, N.Y./Long Island Aquatic Club), 4:07.81

Mintenko on her race: "This is a world-class meet, so I knew that if I wanted to have some confidence throughout that race, I needed to get out there. I was just really happy with how it ended. I didn't think I was going to go that fast, so I was really excited for that."

Mintenko on the meet and training: "The week has been going really well so far. The season has been full of ups and downs just getting through the summer. I was able to train at the OPTC and could be home in Colorado Springs, which was really nice. I think that was really helpful to my success this year to be in an environment that I truly understood." 

Men's 400m Freestyle - FINAL

1. Luka Mijatovic (Pleasanton, Calif./Pleasanton Seahawks), 3:43.45

2. Ryan Erisman (Windermere, Fla./California Aquatics), 3:44.39

3. William Mulgrew (Walpole, Mass./Shawmut Aquatic Club), 3:47.88

Mijatovic on his race: "I wanted to stay on Ryan's hip the whole time and make that move the last 150m. I knew if I was equal with him, I could bring it home." 

Mijatovic on his time: "That time was not surprising to me, honestly. I've been training for this all summer, and I knew what I was capable of. I'm pretty happy with it."

1. McKenzie Siroky (Livonia, Mich./Tennessee Aquatics), 1:05.64

2. Kate Douglass (Pelham, N.Y./New York Athletic Club), 1:05.66

3. Emma Weber (Denver, Colo/Cavalier Aquatics/Piedmont Family YMCA), 1:06.92 

Siroky on her race: "Before the race this morning, I knew I wanted to take it more chill and get a good feel for my stroke, and that's exactly what I felt. Good tempo, good energy, nothing too crazy. I knew if I could execute that in the morning, I knew I could turn it up a notch tonight - finding that same kind of stroke and rhythm." 

Siroky on her last 50: "My training partner, Mona McSharry, and I have pushed each other in practice. She really inspires me every day. I was just telling my coach, I just pretend that I'm racing Mona when I get close to people and it reminds me of the fun and the times that I'm in the pool training." 

Men's 100m Breaststroke - FINAL

1. Alexei Avakov (Manchester, N.H./Indiana Swim Club), 58.87

2. Nate Germonprez (Omaha, Neb./Longhorn Aquatics), 59.51

3. Watson Nguyen (Plano, Texas/Metroplex Aquatics), 59.79

Avakov on looking forward to the 100 after doing the 200 and 50 previously: “I was really happy about all of the events. I was excited to swim them all. Didn’t have the greatest start I wanted, because I have had a really rough month of training – inconsistent, poor sleep, struggling. But once taper hit, things started to settle in, and I’ve put in the work the rest of the year, so I am not going to let one month ruin it. But I am happy with the 200 long course time.”

Women's 100m Backstroke - FINAL

1. Isabelle Stadden (Blaine, Minn./Aquajets Swim Team), 58.06

2. Ulises Saravia (Tennessee Aquatics), 53.70

3. Jack Wilkening (Ann Arbor, Mich./Longhorn Aquatics), 53.78

McDonald on his race: "This week was off to a little rough start, but we've been calculating my taper to be this back half - my 100 back, the 200 IM tomorrow. So far, the taper and everything I have done has been building up to this. It's a great result so far, but after that 100 back I could do a lot more having not trained it too much. I'm excited about what I can do with that race in particular."

McDonald on his championship season: "It's awesome, especially this year; it's an interesting season with all the people at Pan Pacs and selection happening last year. I get to see who is breaking out, what's going on between the big dogs and the guys that are coming up and nipping at the heels. I've always been middle of the pack, so it's time for me to step it up and try and get to that top spot in a lot of my races."

Day 3 Results: July 30, 2026

Women's 400m Individual Medley - FINAL

1. Katie Grimes (Las Vegas, Nev./Cavalier Aquatics/Piedmont Family YMCA), 4:33.26 

2. Bella Sims (Las Vegas, Nev./Sandpipers of Nevada), 4:37.33

3. Sydney Schoeck (Chesterfield, Mo./CSP Tideriders), 4:38.68

Grimes on her race and expectations: "I think it was good for right now. I'm happy with that coming into Pan Pacs. I had no expectations, especially this morning. I had no idea if I was going fast or not. I feel stronger, so my feel for the water is a little different."

Grimes on racing prior to Pan Pacs: "It's a little weird. It takes me back to when we would go to JO's and then Zones. It's weird, but it's a good trial run. I'm looking forward to Pan Pacs."

Grimes on training: "The last couple of months have amped up since NCAA's. We went to altitude training camp, so I was able to get a lot of good yardage in there. That just changed my training in general; I've just been really confident in that. It's been really challenging, so I had no fears stepping on the block today. I've been doing crazy yardage that I haven't done before, so I'm happy with it."

Men's 400m Individual Medley - FINAL

1. Ryan Erisman (Windermere, Fla./California Aquatics), 4:09.57

2. Noah Cakir (Deer Park, N.Y./Indiana Swim Club), 4:13.28

3. Michael Hochwalt (Colbert, Wash./Sun Devil Swimming), 4:13.37

Erisman on his race: "I was super pumped. After Indy, I was hoping to have a good time at the end of the year. I'm super proud of it. I really wanted to go under 4:10, so happy to break that barrier." 

Ersman on his time: "The time is definitely important to me, especially in that race. That race is fun for me; it's one of the hardest races that I swim. I was really proud of how I was able to execute tonight, so maybe the next two years, it's something I look at swimming."

Erisman on his family: "My family is just the best - my mom, my dad and Uncle Doug. They travel everywhere, as much as they can. It means a lot to me that they support me as much as they do. The first dual meet of the year, my parents weren't supposed to be there, but my dad surprised me. I walked off the bus, and my dad was standing right there. They mean the world to me."

Women's 100m Butterfly - FINAL

1. Mizuki Hirai (Tennessee Aquatics), 57.52

2. Hannah Bellard (Grosse Ile, Mich./University of Michigan Swim Team), 58.27

2. Caeleb Dressel (Green Cove Springs, Fla./Sporting Jax Aquatic Club), 50.45

3. Rowan Cox (Austin, Texas, Longhorn Aquatics), 50.64

Kharun on his race: "I thought I went faster than 50.0; I'll have to look at the splits on that. It felt really good; I knew Dressel was going to be out there. It was a good race all the way through, but I need to work on it a little bit more."

Kharun on his meet: "The meet wasn't too bad, pretty happy with it. I see improvement from last year. Overall, I think it was a good meet, lots of lessons learned. I only get two chances here rather than Worlds with three. Let's just say that was the semifinals; that's not too bad. I'll take it."

Women's 50m Breaststroke - FINAL

1. McKenzie Siroky (Livonia, Mich./Tennessee Aquatics), 29.99

2. Michael Andrew  (Encinitas, Calif./MA Swim Academy), 26.91

3. Mitch Mason (Houston, Texas/Texas Ford Aquatics), 27.08

Nguyen on his race: "I've been trying to shorten up that pullout so not staying too long, but it's a 50, and you have to hit the rate and go for it. Not much thinking, just hit your line and go."

Nguyen on training: "The first half of summer I was with my club team. I wanted to stay home a little bit. After that, I was ready to go back to school and do some research. Everyone was doing schoolwork and internships. I felt like I had to do something for my career, so I went back to school for the past month and a half."

2. Maggie Wanezek (Elm Grove, Wis./Wisconsin Aquatics), 27.88 

3. Rhyan White (Herriman, Utah/Wolfpack Elite), 27.93 

Stadden on her meet: "I think it's going pretty well. I have some goals in mind, but I have to keep remembering that every time is impressive for a 24-year-old. I'm pretty happy with it at the end of the day, despite the initial disappointment. I'm over it now and just a little fire for tomorrow."

Stadden on her training in Colorado Springs: "I was willing to trust the process, and I know Todd was in good communication with Greg. They got the science part of it down. I wasn't afraid by any means; I just gave it my all up there, same as I would have at home."

Men's 50m Backstroke - FINAL

1. Quintin McCarty (Colorado Springs, Colo./Wolfpack Elite), 24.73

I'm just really excited moving forward, getting ready for Pan Pacs, getting geared up, and hopefully bringing home some medals for Team USA.  

McCarty on swimming Finals: "I did the race to get more experience outside. Looking up at the sky, even though it was blank and no sunshine, it was just an opportunity to swim outside."

McCarty on his training: "It's been great, I love it out in Raleigh. Every practice you go to, everyone is smiling, laughing, and joking. Kind of pushing each other around and giving high fives.  A lot of good camaraderie there."

3. Madi Mintenko (Colorado Springs, Colo./ Cavalier Aquatics/Piedmont Family YMCA), 1:55.87

Moesch on her race: "I think it's a comfortability thing. This race, even since high school, is something I've been scared of, so I'm forcing myself to swim it a lot more. I'm trying to get comfortable with the uncomfortable. I'm excited to keep practicing it as the years come." 

Men's 200m Freestyle - FINAL

3. Mitchell Schott (Newport Beach, Calif./New York Athletic Club), 1:45.78

Erisman on his race: "I was pretty happy with it. This morning was a great swim; I was really happy with the drop that I had. I just wanted to go in and have the best race I could. I have a few little bit of details that I can clean up, but I'm really happy with my splits overall."

Erisman on his execution: "For me, I know my back-half is going to be there. My last 100 is my strong point, so just being able to get out as fast as I could. I knew Brooks was next to me, so I was trying to get as close to him to go out that first 100."

Women's 200m Breaststroke - FINAL

1. Sophia Umstead (Jenison, Mich./Michigan Lakeshore Aquatics), 2:25.57

2. Adalene Robillard (Mason, Ohio/Alto Swim Club), 2:26.07

3. Maddy Huggins (Carbondale, Ill./Club Seminole), 2:26.42

Umstead on her strategy: "I really have been working on stroke count. Really being able to stick to that the first 100 and really be able to race and come back strong on my second 100."

Umstead on her training: "It's wild, I never trained like this before. I thought I'd be coming to this meet and winning a National Title. My goal was just to drop more time. One of my biggest goals this season is to make the National Team. I wanted to come here and swim a time that would put me on that team."

Men's 200m Breaststroke - FINAL

2. Gabe Nunziata (Suffolk, Va./Tennessee Aquatics), 2:07.62

3. Finnley Conklin (Oregon, Wisc./University of Louisville), 2:08.94

Bey on his race: "In prelims I felt really good, but I had a lot of tough circumstances by ripping my tech suit. Today was not on my side. Despite all of that, we were able to put together a fantastic swim. Super exciting considering the slump I had this past year. I came back tonight and was going to leave it all in the pool, and I did exactly that. I went for a perfect execution, and I don't think it could have gone any better. I had to really be gritty on that last 25; there were some really talented breaststrokers closing on me there."

Women's 200m Backstroke - FINAL

3. Gabi Brito (Santa Monica, Calif./Beach Cities Alpha), 26.08

Kendall on her preparation for her race: "This summer, I really worked on some technical aspects of my 50 fly. When I'm working on that in warm-up, it really helps when you're blank in a race. You just stick to your game plan." 

Kendall on swimming the 50: "I think I work on the last 15 meters. I know I put in a lot of strength training work, so at the end of the race, I know I have that strength to my advantage. I'm just focusing on those little details at the end."

Men's 50m Butterfly - FINAL

*US Open Record

Kharun on his personal best: "It feels great. I'm now tied with Igor. I really wanted to get him, but I'm glad I'm on top with him. More improvement, but it's a great feeling, especially at this meet." 

Kharun on competitors:  "I feel like I'm less experienced than them. Like Dressel and Michael, so I feel like a little guy. I keep forgetting I'm also with them. I'm just always grabbing experience from them, always learning. I still watch the races to analyze what they do. I may have beaten Dressel today, but he still has a 22.3. I'm happy to race and learn from them."

Day 1 Results: July 28, 2026

2. Bella Sims (Las Vegas, Nev./Sandpipers of Nevada), 2:07.19

3. Lindsay Looney (Denison, Texas/Longhorn Aquatics), 2:07.26

Bellard on her race: "I haven't really raced long course in a while, so I was just looking to get back in and do something on the big stage. I think I was using that as motivation. Go out there and not really put a time limit on it."

Bellard on swimming with Bella Sims: "I love Bella. We train together during the collegiate season so it's super fun to do this with her as well." 

Men's 200m Butterfly - FINAL

1. Luca Urlando (Sacramento, Calif./ DART Swimming), 1:54.45

2. Ilya Kharun (Las Vegas, Nev./Sun Devil Swimming), 1:54.59

3. Enzo Solitario (New Orleans, La./Wisconsin Aquatics), 1:54.99

Urlando on his race: "It felt good. The race felt a lot better than it did this morning.  I needed to be patient and build into each 50 and then the last 75.  I wanted to be the same time I was this morning. I'm not super rested, so my goal was to try and put together a complete race in-season. This afternoon felt like what the 200 fly should feel like- never feels good, but I was more connected tonight."

Urlando on his training: "I'm taking each day as it is and really communicating with my coach. The past two months, I've been able to train at 100 percent."

Women's 100m Freestyle - FINAL

1. Anna Moesch (Green Brook, N.J./Greater Somerset County YMCA Storm), 51.88*

2. Rylee Erisman (Windermere, Fla./Laker Swim), 52.92

3. Liberty Clark (Chico, Calif./Indiana Swim Club), 52.97

*American Record

Moesch on her race: "I had a couple of things I wanted to work on and am happy how I executed the race. Super happy to go 51 again. I think I still have a lot that I want to work on for the future, but I'm happy where I'm at now. That's the end of my long course season for the 100 free. We'll pick up again next year or maybe something in December; we'll see."

Moesch on the season: So many more 100 frees than I've done in my lifelong course. I usually do it once or twice a season. I honestly think it was good to get that extra practice in and get more comfortable with the race itself. Now that it's over, I am kind of sad. I learned to like the race a lot more than I originally did." 

Moesch on her record: "It says so much about where women's swimming is going. We're doing such amazing things, every one of us. It's so great to be a part of. I can't wait for the next couple of years when I get more chances to swim it. I'm just super ecstatic with how the season has gone for me. I couldn't be happier."

3. Sydney Schoeck (Chesterfield, Mo./CSP Tideriders), 8:32.44

Hurst on her race: "I tried to keep the first 200 long and see what I could do that last 600. I was pretty happy with how it turned out; it's always nice to go a best time. It's been a minute since I've had one of those in that race, so it was exciting for me to go that time. 

Hurst on her training: "I think I've had a really good summer of training with Erik and Bob. I'm happy that it paid off at the end." 

Men's 1500m Freestyle - FINAL

3. Luka Mijatovic (Pleasanton, Calif./Pleasanton Seahawks),15:08.12

Mulgrew on his training: "My summer training has been great; I've been grinding. I competed in Fort Lauderdale, the TYR Pro Swim Series in Indy, and just getting here to finish off the summer."

Mulgrew on his race and competition: "I'm happy with that swim; it was a good drop for me. Breaking 15-minutes  is a good barrier to beat. It was a great heat to race; they helped me break that barrier. I was trying to get out there the first 400-800 and then hold on and bring it home fast. I think I did a good job of executing my own game plan and finishing strong."

Mulgrew on being the National Champion: "It feels good. I've been to the past few National Championships. I have to give all the credit to my teammates back home who helped me get there."

Competition continues through Saturday. Prelims begin at 9 a.m. PT, while finals start at 6 p.m. PT.
