Friday morning’s heat sheets have dropped with the 400 IM, 100 fly, 200 free, 100 breast and 100 back prelims set to take place. The prelim session will kick off at 10 AM EST.
While there were no scratches in the top 24 of any event, one notable non-scratch is Wisconsin’s Jake Newmark, who will contest the 200 free in heat 7, the final heat of the event. Newmark was notably absent from his 500 free heat Thursday morning, where he declared a false start after coming in as the 9th seed with a 4:12.43
Newmark comes in seeded 22nd in the 200 in a 1:32.84. He notably led off the Wisconsin 800 free relay in a 1:36.22 on Wednesday night, well off of his lifetime best. The Wisconsin coaching staff has told SwimSwam that Newmark is suffering from a non-COVID related illness and they are hoping he is able to compete again this weekend.
Also revealed in the psych sheet is an interesting double today, as Indiana sophomore Tomer Frankel will attempt the 100 fly, 200 free double. The two events are back to back, and Frankel will swim in heat 5 (of 6) of the 100 fly and heat four of the 200 free. That will likely give him around 15 minutes between his races this morning.

Seems with how deep this meet is its almost impossible to swim 15 min apart and compete. This is some Iron Man effort today
Shields did this double his freshman year. The 200 in the consolation final was quite funny. Talent is definitely deeper now than it was 11 years ago though.
Seems weird that they have the 400 IM and the 200 free back-to-back. Feel like there’s a lot of overlapping talent in those events most years.
It doesn’t matter if they’re back to back or if they bookended the session. No sane coach would ask an athlete to do 2 4IMs and 2 2FRs in the same day.
My bad, meant to say 100 fly and 200 free. I remember last year Brooks Fail did the 1650 and the 200 fly on the same day. Crazy dude. Think he also did the 400 IM the day before.
