2022 U.S Trials: Finke Scratches 400 Free on Day 4

2022 Phillips 66 International Team Trials

View the Day 4 Prelim Heat Sheets here

After qualifying for the Worlds team in the 1500 and finishing third in the 400 IM, Bobby Finke won’t contest the 400 free on Day 4 in Greensboro. Finke has one remaining entry: the 800 free where he is top seed and the reigning Olympic gold medalist.

As expected after their posts on Instagram, Paige Madden and Coleman Stewart have both scratched their events for the day. Madden was #2 seed in the 400 free and Stewart was #9 in the 100 back. 

Madden opened up about living with Hashimoto’s disease and will take the rest of the summer to focus on her mental and physical health. According to his post, Stewart is refocusing on Mare Nostrum, which takes place next month to avoid conflicting with Worlds

#9 seed Erika Brown also scratched the 100 back. On Day 5, she is entered with the #6 seed in the 50 free.

Does Regan Smith get to swim 50 back at world’s sine she already made the team in 200 fly? Was 2nd in 50 back.

I would like to see a swim meet with world class swimmers, where every swimmer has to swim every event. That would be delightful. Pianos raining down everywhere.

I thought Coleman was getting married in June and that is why he is focusing on Mare Nostrum?!
