No. 2 women’s seed Penny Oleksiak and No. 3 men’s seed Michael Andrew are no longer swimming the 100 fly at this morning’s Pro Swim Series prelims in Des Moines. Andrew remains entered in the 100 back and 50 free.
Oleksiak also scratched the 100 free and 50 fly, so it appears she did not make the trip to Des Moines at all.
The other high seed scratches are No. 5 seed Kayla Sanchez in the 200 breast, and No. 4 seed Hali Flickinger in the 200 IM, and No. 3 Allison Schmitt in the 800 free (she is still swimming the 100 fly).

Oh I hope everything is alright with PO
She’s not the only HPC athlete who scratched out of the meet entirely. Considering the national trials are in less than a month, it’s possible that they’re just focusing on getting ready for that. I can’t say anything for sure though.
Guess two 50s consecutively is alot to ask….
Pretty tired troped, especially since he won the 100 breast, which, according to my last calculation, was two consecutive 50s.
And the 100 back too
Is Penny even there? Has she swim anything this week?
NO! She is in Toronto, she had no plans to compete.
