3 – Tess Howley (Rockaway Beach, N.Y./Long Island Aquatic Club), 2:06.79

Bricker on her strong butterfly swim: “I think that all of my IM training really contributes to my butterfly, and I have really developed so much in the past two years. I’ve kind of known it was back there, but I feel like it has finally taken hold.”

Bricker on her execution: “I wanted to go out fast but not force it because sometimes I do that when I get a little nervous or excited. My second 50, just keep it going and not force it, especially as I see people next to me and start to focus on them a little bit more. The third 50 I tried to build and the last 50 I was just trying to get my legs in, don’t let my hips drop at all and use all forward motion.”

*Alexy’s prelims time of 46.99 set a new U.S. Open record

Alexy on his prelims U.S. Open record: “Going :46 is an ultimate goal of mine. Going into this morning, I really didn’t have any time expectations, I just wanted to see what I have. I gave my all this morning.”

Alexy on his finals race: “I just wanted to not overthink this. It’s just two laps down the pool, and I’ve done this several times. I just wanted to go in (the pool) and do it again. I added a little bit of time, my dive was a little deep, but I was still able to go :47-low. I’ll definitely take that for now.”

Ledecky on what is working so well for her right now: “Things are clicking with my stroke. I've got a lot of confidence, training as been going really well. Consistency on all fronts has led to this.”
