Wednesday morning heat sheets

Josh Zuchowski of Flood Aquatics is the highest seed to scratch an event out of prelims this morning. He had been the 4th-ranked 200 backstroker (1:58.44) coming into the meet. Australia’s Thomas Hauck, the #7 seed in the same event (1:59.85) also pulled out. There were no scratches out of the circle-seeded heats in the men’s 200 breast, but three swimmers dropped the 200 free prelims: 9th-seeded Charlie Hawke of Australia (1:47.50 – he also scratched the 200 fly on Tuesday) and SwimMAC’s Tim Connery (11th with 1:47.96) and Baylor Nelson (21st with 1:49.28).

The women’s 200 free also saw three scratches from prelims: #11 Mia O’Leary (1:59.82) and #23 Maddy Gough (2:00.80) of Australia and #14 Talia Bates (2:00.21) from Gator Swim Club. In the 200 breast, the only circle-seeded swimmer to drop out of heats was Lauren Poole of Kentucky Aquatics (#20 with 2:31.04). No top-24 women scratched the 200 breast.
