9. Phoebe Bacon (Chevy Chase, Md./Wisconsin Aquatics), 2:09.45

10. Leah Hayes (Sugar Grove, Ill./Cavalier Aquatics/Piedmont Family YMCA), 2:11.06

Walsh on her race: "I feel good, honestly. To me, 2:08, 2:07 in the 200 IM is definitely a win. I think that goes to show how much endurance training I've been doing. Best time in the 400 IM a couple of days ago. I'm really happy with that, so I'm feeling good; I'm feeling solid. I feel like this summer, specifically the past couple months, have been a good reset for me. I'm really looking forward to next year."

Walsh on Kate's swim: "Yeah, that was nuts. Just watching her and Gretchen battle for that World Record has been really fun. Obviously, we're very close, we're great teammates, but that rivalry will always be there. Our relationship is really strong, so it doesn't get in the way of our friendship. It's fun that all three of us train every day, hang out every day in Virginia. It's just a great environment."

11. Destin Lasco (Lindwood, N.J./PDR Swimming), 2:00.62

Carson on the international competition in the 200 IM: "I swim against the three best 200 IMers in the world every day in practice. I'm used to chasing - especially in that event. I go to practice every day wanting to be the best in the world, and I have good practice with that with my teammates. I am just going to continue that when I go home." 

Women's 50m Freestyle- FINAL

*World Record

Douglass on her morning World Record: "I definitely wasn't expecting that. I knew I could do a 23 this morning, but I wasn't expecting to go the World Record. I think I put together a good race, but I think there are a lot of things I can clean up a little bit."

Douglass on her evening race: "I'm really happy to be done, but I'm really proud of myself for keeping a good mentality through all of it. Physically, I felt way more on top of the water. I think that's something that when I've had my best freestyle races, that's exactly how I feel. I'm not sinking, I'm just kind of floating on top of the water. Something clicked this weekend. I feel like I've been feeling it in practice and meets here and there. I think a little bit of rest for my legs really helped me feel really powerful on top of the water."

Douglass on her plans post-Pan Pacs: "Our whole UVA Family, a lot of our friends who swam with me in college are here celebrating with me. We're going to have a little vacation on the beach this weekend."

10. Chris Guiliano (Douglassville, Pa./Longhorn Aquatics), 21.65

Alexy on his race: "The starter held us pretty long there. Not the best start to the race, but I felt like I closed pretty well. It's a fast day of finals tonight so we'll see what happens."

Alexy on his training environment: "It feels pretty good, coming to meets like this. It's great practice for us, not only for Cal but for Team USA. There is a lot of positivity training at Cal. When I got there five years ago, I looked up to Ryan Murphy, Nathan Adrian, and so many of the legends who have gone through the program. I've just tried to replicate what they've done."

Bobby on his meet: "Things didn't go my way this year. I've been fortunate enough to have pretty much a good year since I've been swimming. That's just how it is sometimes; things don't always go your way. I just have to go home and train harder and smarter."

11. Kennedi Dobson (Levittown, Pa./Eastern Express Swim Team), 8:29.00

13. Becca Mann (Homer Glen, Ill./TAC Titans), 8:32.52

Ledecky on her race: "That was my best swim of the week. I'm actually pretty happy with it. If I was going to get second tonight, I wanted to make it a good one. It was a season best, so you can't complain about that. I wanted to make it hard for Lani(Pallister), and I'm happy that we got to see some pretty good times."

Ledecky on her silver: "Yeah, it's fine. I'm pretty happy with that time, so I think I could move forward from here. I wasn't really thinking about my history in the event. I just wanted to have a good last event here. I'm really proud of the history I have with this event, and that doesn't go away just from getting second. I'm really happy that the 800 is in this position and have several people under 8:10 right now. It's really exciting."

4. Kennedi Dobson (Levittown, Pa./Eastern Express Swim Team), 4:03.56

12. Jillian Cox (Cedar Park, Texas/Longhorn Aquatics), 4:09.30

Ledecky on her race: "It was okay, I'm not super happy with it. I haven't looked at the splits yet so we'll see. I never like being over 4 minutes in an international final. I put together the best race I could tonight. I felt like I had a good back half, just wasn't out quick enough."

Men's 400m Freestyle - FINAL

BRONZE - Aaron Shackell (Carmel, Ind./Carmel Swim Club), 3:43.44

6. Rex Maurer (Pasadena, Calif./Longhorn Aquatics), 3:45.72

11. Luke Hobson (Reno, Nev./Longhorn Aquatics), 3:49.94 

14. Joey Tepper (Egg Harbor Township, N.J./University of Minnesota), 3:51.31

Shackell on his race: "I thought it was a pretty well executed swim. I think I could have been a little bit softer on the legs at the beginning. The first 50 I was excited to be next to Sam and paid for it on the last 100. I really wanted the American Record there, but I've still received a bronze medal at an international meet and a best time by a second and a half."

Shackell on his family's connection to swimming: "I think I'm really good at centering myself. My parents were both swimmers, and it kind of comes naturally. We're always there for each other; if we need to sit down and talk to someone, there is no better person than your sibling, who is also an Olympian."

10. Caroline Bricker (Colorado Springs, Colo./Alto Swim Club), 58.89

Walsh on her race: "I'm not super happy with the time, but I am very happy with the win. I think there is a lot of room for improvement in that race. I feel like I'm going my best times at the oddest times of the year. A best time may not have happened tonight, but I know it will happen again and I'm just going to keep working for it in the future."

Men's 100m Butterfly - FINAL

BRONZE - Luca Urlando (Sacramento, Calif./DART Swimming), 50.99

6. Shaine Casas (McAllen, Texas/Longhorn Aquatics), 51.24

9. Thomas Heilman (Crozet, Va./Cavalier Aquatics/Piedmont Family YMCA), 51.20

10. Dare Rose (Jersey City, N.J./Scarlet Aquatics), 51.49

Urlando on his race and future plans for event: "I thought it was good: two 50s in one day and a best time. I think more reps, more confidence, and learning how to do less to go faster."

Urlando on his family's sporting background and advice: "As soon as I knew that was a part of my family, I wanted to be a part of that. They've taught me to be true to myself and, through that, make decisions that are right for me." 

Women's 200m Backstroke - FINAL

GOLD - Regan Smith (Lakeville, Minn./Longhorn Aquatics), 2:05.57

SILVER - Claire Curzan (Cary, N.C./TAC Titans), 2:06.44 

9. Phoebe Bacon (Chevy Chase, Md./Wisconsin Aquatics), 2:07.02

10. Rylee Erisman (Windermere, Fla./Laker Swim), 2:07.20

Regan on her race: I can’t stress enough how I left it all in the pool this morning. Before this morning, I had never been 2:06 in prelims, and now 2:04.1- that’s my fifth fastest time ever. I really think it was a gut check, to be like, I still got it. Tonight was just about coming in and racing as hard as I could. I didn’t think I was going to go any faster. I think all things considered, I raced really hard, and I’m proud of myself.”

4. Keaton Jones (Gilbert, Ariz./California Aquatics), 1:58.00

9. Emma Weber (Denver, Colo./Cavalier Aquatics/Piedmont Family YMCA), 30.97

Siroky on her time: “Swimming the 100 breast yesterday, I was .06 off my best time. I’m really happy with that swim, and I just keep learning.”

Siroky on teammate Skyler Smith: “It makes me really happy to see her get better at the race. I know that’s something she has always looked forward to. This morning was a big swim for her to get a personal best, and now to hit under 30 is so amazing. U.S. breaststroke...we're getting fast.”

Siroky on her preparation and interacting with the crowd: “I do a little boxing before I get out there. I need to get some of my power and energy out. It brings me joy to see people enjoying the sport. You need to have fun, and you need to have energy. That brought me energy to see people excited for a race.” 

Men's 50m Breaststroke - FINAL

SILVER (T) - Van Mathias (Portland, Ore./Indiana Swim Club), 26.42

4. Michael Andrew (Encinitas, Calif./MA Swim Academy), 26.78

9. Campbell McKean (Bend, Ore./Longhorn Aquatics), 26.94

Mathias on his decision to swim: "I've been nursing (an injury) all day, and to put myself back together and do that, I'm so happy with that swim. I couldn't walk a few hours ago, and to come back doing that - I'll take that all day."

Women's 4x100m Freestyle Relay - FINAL

GOLD - United States of America, 3:29.32*

Kate Douglass (Pelham, N.Y./New York Athletic Club), 51.69

Torri Huske (Arlington, Va./New York Athletic Club), 52.79

Simone Manuel (Sugar Land, Texas/Longhorn Aquatics), 52.61

*American Record

Douglass on her emotions leading off the relay: "I think, honestly, I went in there, and my goal was to break the World Record. It hurts to be so close to it and not get it, but I'm still really happy with that. Obviously, that's a huge best time for me, so I can't be upset about it."

Huske on her relay performance:  "I  was very excited to be on this relay. I mean, it's so exciting. I was just hoping that I could put together a good performance to get us on top of the podium."

Manuel on anchoring the relay: " It felt really good. Obviously, I think, we were all pumped up. Gretchen (Walsh) didn't know, but to have Kate start off with an American record was incredible. At the end of the day, we wanted to bring it home and have good splits as well.

That was a really good split for me, and to be a part of an American record in that relay, something I didn't get to compete in last summer, is really special. I had a lot of fun tonight."

Men's 4x100m Freestyle Relay - FINAL

GOLD - United States of America, 3:09.01

Chris Guiliano (Douglassville, Pa./Longhorn Aquatics), 47.51

Patrick Sammon (El Dorado Hills, Calif./Sun Devil Swimming), 46.98

Destin Lasco (Lindwood, N.J./PDR Swimming), 47.74

 Jack Alexy (Mendham, N.J./California Aquatics), 46.78

Alexy on chasing a World Record: "This was a great performance for Team USA. That record has been in a lot of people's eyes for a long time. I think we were on track there for a while until I hopped in the water. So, there are things to clean up on my end, but that's just good practice for us: racing against international teams. This was good practice for Budapest next summer, and then LA back down here in California in two years. So, really excited."

Lasco on his thoughts after being named to the relay: "We were thinking about just winning the race, because when we do that, the time will take care of itself. It's a process, right? We still have two years to figure this out. I know that in two years the chemistry will be better, and it's all about teamwork. We can clean up our exchanges and get that energy."

Sammon on his perspective being able to watch the end of the race: "It was awesome. I love being able to go earlier in the relay and watch, especially (watch) Jack(Alexy) finish it off. It was an awesome race down the finish."

Guiliano on the lead-off position: "I was a little greedy taking it out 22.0. I felt all of it coming home, but I just tried to get out there and give the squad a lead."

BRONZE - Bobby Finke (Clearwater, Fla./Saint Petersburg Aquatics), 4:07.59

9. Rex Maurer (Pasadena, Calif./Longhorn Aquatics), 4:12.49

Foster on his race:  “It was good. Prelims are so weird here; it’s like we got to skip Trials and the stresses of that, but we have to redo it in prelims with racing our teammates. Finals are fun; you get to see what you can do. Prelims are a little more stressful, so I stayed in my own lane and did a good job. I’m bound and determined to get a best time in that before I retire, so I’m going to work my butt off to get there.”

Foster on his competition: “It’s an honor to race against him. It’s fun; Japan has a rich history in that event, as does the United States. It’s fun to have that rivalry again. I’m fully confident those are the guys that I’ll be racing the next couple of years. Along with Leon and some of the Europeans. I’m excited to get as many reps as possible before 2028.”

4. Simone Manuel (Sugar Land, Texas/Longhorn Aquatics), 53.13

9. Torri Huske (Arlington, Va./New York Athletic Club), 53.15

10. Rylee Erisman (Windermere, Fla./Laker Swim), 53.35

Walsh on how her race unfolded:  "This one hurt a lot. I think I wanted to go another best time, but I am still really proud of myself for getting on the podium. That was my first 100 free podium at a senior international meet, so very proud of that, how far I have come, and what I have had to overcome. I had to break through a barrier in 100 free again, and I am really happy to now be able to say I can go 52-mid."

GOLD - Jack Alexy (Mendham, N.J./California Aquatics), 47.14*

9. Chris Guiliano (Douglassville, Pa./Longhorn Aquatics), 47.16

10. Destin Lasco (Lindwood, N.J./PDR Swimming), 47.78

*Championship Record

Alexy on his race: “This morning I just wanted to get the job done and make it into finals. I watched the race video with my coach Dave (Durden), and there were some things to clean up on the first lap, on the breakout and on the start, the approach and in and out of the turn. I set myself up for a lot better race tonight. Especially coming off the 50 wall a lot better. Pushing off and having the closing speed in there.”

Alexy on Guiliano’s championship record: “I saw that Chris went that fast and I think it shows how much depth USA Swimming has in the 100 freestyle on the men’s side but also events for both genders. It really shows the depth we have and the precursor for the next two years.”

Women's 100m Breaststroke - FINAL

GOLD - McKenzie Siroky (Livonia, Mich./Tennessee Aquatics), 1:05.32

4. Kate Douglass (Pelham, N.Y./New York Athletic Club), 1:05.81

11. Emma Weber (Denver, Colo.//Cavalier Aquatics/Piedmont Family YMCA), 1:07.80

Siroky's perspective on winning gold at an international meet: "It's unreal to look at. Two years ago, I had my first long course meet, and how much I have learned in the past two years, I've relied on all those little moments and skills I've learned to piece together a race like today."

Siroky on her celebration: "Yeah, I wanted to get out and rip a little hockey celly, but I don't have a stick."

Men's 100m Breaststroke - FINAL

GOLD - Van Mathias (Portland, Ore./Indiana Swim Club), 58.02*

4. Josh Matheny (Pittsburgh, Pa./Indiana Swim Club), 59.42

9. Campbell McKean (Bend, Ore./Longhorn Aquatics), 59.50

13. AJ Pouch (Henderson, Nev./Pinnacle Racing), 1:01.10

*Championship Record

Mathias on his career: “I have a busy fall coming up for IU Athletics and IU Swimming & Diving, so I'm trying to get ahead of some work. I haven’t cracked my laptop in a couple of days, so I am probably falling behind, but I'll try to get ahead on stuff.”

Mathias on his 100 breast dominance in 2026:  “The 100  breast wasn’t a priority at the beginning of the year, but it has kind of turned into one. We’re still figuring out how we can race that well and still be good at the other events, so I think it’s a good step and hopefully I just keep getting better and better.”

GOLD - Katharine Berkoff (Missoula, Mont./Wolfpack Elite), 26.90*

9. Michael Andrew (Encinitas, Calif./MA Swim Academy), 25.02

*Championship Record

Quintin on winning an international race on American soil: “Honestly, it means the world, just being able to come out here and represent all these fans, and it feels great. Just like any other meet we have domestically. I’ve only been out of the country a few times, but there is nothing else like home."

Quintin on high-pressure competing at home: “You don’t think about the expectations, you just do the best you can. That’s why we train, that’s why we get in the water at 5 a.m., so at the end of the day when we're racing you put your best self out there, and you just have the most fun time that you can.”

Quintin's advice to young swimmers: “Don’t think, have fun, smile. That’s my biggest advice to any young kid out there. You got to get out there, you smile and have fun with sport, because it’s way too hard to be in your head all the time.” 

Women's 4x200m Freestyle Relay - FINAL

SILVER - United States of America, 7:43.10

Men's 4x200m Freestyle Relay - FINAL

GOLD - United States of America, 6:59.37*

*Championship Record

Jett on his last 50: “All these guys know when I’m racing, I always do that on my last wall. It just gives me a little extra boost. I was breathing to the crowd all the way home. It was such an emotional swim, so I just gave it everything on that last turn. I do it every day at practice against my teammates because they are all so fast, so if I beat them, I’m in a good spot.”

Jett on the relay: “I’m just so proud of these guys. As you saw in the individual 200 free, we had so many guys go such fast times in the morning. The USA is just so deep in this event, so to be up here with these three men and for all of us to put up good splits and break 7 minutes. That’s such a ridiculous time; I’m just so proud of all four of us.”

Hobson on the race: “I knew after yesterday morning prelims that these guys and the whole USA contingent in the 200 free. I knew we would be able to get under 7 minutes and have a really good shot at that World Record. I’m super proud of these guys and proud of myself. We’re super close, and it’s coming soon.”

"Walsh on her swim: I know I talked about breaking the World Record and I still do. I think that's a really amazing goal for me to have for the future because it's motivating me a lot. I'm leaving the 50 fly here with a little extra chip on my shoulder and just ready for next year in that event. Knowing that there is more to come and more work I can do."

16. Henry McFadden (Haddonfield, N.J/Jersey Wahoos), 1:48.25

Jett on racing Hobson: "We've been racing since before college; we swam the 200 free and were always racing side by side. He's always the rabbit I have to chase; that was definitely fueling me coming home. 1:43, I can't even comprehend that right now. I'm so fired up. It's been a long season, and it's been really hard. I'm just proud of myself. 

Hobson on his swim: "I love a good race, especially when it's a USA teammate. It's always great to race Gabe, as he said; we've grown up racing each other, so we're both used to it. It's fun. He pushed me to go even faster tonight, which is great. I'm super happy that the U.S. has two 1:43's now; that's amazing. That gave me a huge confidence boost for the next two years and heading into the LA Olympics. I think our relay is going to be in a great spot and I'm really excited for that. Relays are the most fun medals to win, and I think we have a great squad."

Berkoff on her race: "I was happy with it; it was by far my best outdoor time and the fastest I've been since the Olympic Trials. I'm happy with that swim."

Berkoff on the challenges of swimming outdoors: "I think some people are better at it than others. I have improved a ton this year. This is my third outdoor meet of this season, so I think I've gotten really good at swimming straight. Especially in Irvine, it's pretty easy because you can see the stands a little bit. It adds an element of unknown when you're swimming outside. When it's dark, it's kind of weird."

Finke on the state of the 800: "It has gotten really fast over the years; it's probably one of the deepest events. All the freestyle events on the guys' side are pretty tight. They are just getting faster, so it's good."

Ledecky on hearing the American National Anthem on American soil at an international meet: "It's pretty special. I'm not going to take these moments for granted. I feel like I am only going to get so many in my career - whether that is internationally or domestically. It's a first, and not quite the time I wanted tonight, but I can't complain about gold and getting my hand on the wall first."

Ledecky on inspiring the next generation: "It's special, I love getting the opportunity. And again, for them to see an international field like this is fun for them, it's fun for us. They bring a smile to my face, so it's great to be in an environment like this."

Mixed 4x100 Medley Relay - FINAL

GOLD - United States of America, 3:36.70*

Will Modglin (Zionsville, Ind./Longhorn Aquatics), 53.40

Van Mathias (Portland, Ore./Indiana Swim Club), 57.30 

Gretchen Walsh (Nashville, Tenn./New York Athletic Club), 54.99

Kate Douglass (Pelham, N.Y./New York Athletic Club), 51.01

*World Record

Walsh on how the evening progressed: "It was a late night, and we were just trying to keep the energy really high. We knew we could break the World Record, so we had our eyes set on a 3:36. I think it was really exciting when we saw the light flash green, so we were under pace when Kate flipped, and we just brought her home cheering. The crowd helped us close it out, and we did it." 

Modglin on joining forces with Douglass and Walsh for a world record: "I'm a little speechless. I feel like I've been watching Kate and Gretchen do this for a while. Being on a relay with them is such an honor, and breaking a world record also - I'm speechless."

Mathias on his journey to a world record: "It's fun being the rookie again. I may be the oldest one here, but it's something being a part of this. Like Will said, I am speechless."

Douglass on what this means to her: "It means a lot. I think as we were sitting for two hours, waiting for this race, we threw out the idea of winning a world record, and I don't know if any of us truly thought we were going to do that tonight. I love anchoring relays like this, because they do all the work for me and I get to give it my all at the end." 

Competition continues through Friday. Prelims begin at 10 a.m. PT, while finals start at 7 p.m. PT.
