Kicking off the first session of the NCAP Elite Qualifier with a personal best time was Kate Douglass who swam to a 1:06.36 in the 100 breaststroke. She now is the #3 American in the event this season.
Top American Women 100 Breast- 2023-2024
- Lilly King, 1:05.67
- Lydia Jacoby, 1:05.74
- Kate Douglass, 1:06.36
- Emma Weber, 1:06.50
- Kaitlyn Dobler, 1:06.71
Her previous best time was a 1:06.67 that she swam in January at the Pro Series stop in Knoxville. Douglass has now swam the event more this year than any of the last four seasons. Last year, she swam the event about a month and a half before US Summer Natiionals as she posted a 1:07.07 at the Atlanta Classic. She opted to not swim the event at US Summer Nationals.
At the end of January, she added the 100 breaststroke to her lineup at 2024 Worlds but ultimately did not swim in the event. The biggest potential event conflict with the 100 breaststroke at Trials is the 100 butterfly. Finals of the 100 butterfly happen Sunday, June 16th before the semifinals of the 100 breaststroke. The only event between the two is the semifinal of the men’s 200 freestyle. Last year, Douglass swam the 100 butterfly at US Summer Nationals as she finished 3rd in a 56.43.
Also highlighting the morning was Gretchen Walsh who swam a 56.98 in the 100 butterfly. Her season-best stands at a 56.14 from Pro Series- San Antonio. She currently is the 2nd fastest American in the event this season as Torri Huske leads the way with a 55.68 from San Antonio.
Looks like Douglass time trialed the 100 free and went 53.16. Maxine Parker went 55.39.
Did Kate Douglass time trial the 100 FR?
Apparently the timing system malfunctioned so that’s why the women’s 100 fly result wasn’t on meet mobile immediately
Don’t tell me. NCAP borrowed the TAC Titans timing apparatus.
They’re struggling at this meet. Also had an issue in the last heat of the W 200 free prelims. Speakers not working so most in the heat didn’t hear ‘take your mark’ and then dove in 1-2 seconds after the beep as they were caught off guard. Given the option to redo, some did, some didn’t.
So does that mean the times mentioned in other comments are nonsense?
Trials will be so much fun to watch! I’m especially interested to see the variance with swimmers training with college coaches. Will be interesting to see how Huske & Regan do compared with the UVA hype.

Events chronologically listed
Douglass, K. – 100 FR, 200 BR, 200 IM
Huske, T. – 100 FL, 100 FR, 200 IM?, 50 FR?

In regard to Alex Walsh, the W 100 BR went off like a lead balloon. The OQT for the W 100 BR is 1:06.79 at the 2024 Summer Olympics.
Sir I-
What even am I reading here bro
Chronological event schedule at the 2024 Olympic Team Trials.
hype?
Anyone know what Gretchen went in finals?
56.6
Gretchen Walsh slighter faster than last year (56.73) at the 2023 NCAP Elite Qualifier.
Curzan?
57.7
Wonder if she’ll even swim it at trials? Seems like she has very little chance of being top two.
2024 Olympic Team Trials
Chronological Event Schedule
Curzan, Claire
W 100 FL – Days 1 & 2
W 100 BK – Days 3 & 4
W 200 BK – Days 6 & 7
What else would Claire Curzan swim during the first two days of the 2024 Olympic Team Trials?
Saving her energy for the backstrokes and gunning for a relay spot in the 100 free? That’s a heavy program when each event has three rounds.
I think she should in the case they may need her in the prelims of the 400MR if GW swims free. But there’s a lot of scenarios going on there..
Seriously?

Plenty of options for the freestyle leg.
Walsh ain’t gonna give up a relay spot especially not in a the medley relay where the US are gold medal favourites.
She doesn’t have to give up a spot. But if she gets second to KD in the 100 free and Huske in the 100 fly, she’ll be swimming prelims free or fly.
At worst, Gretchen Walsh swims the butterfly leg in the heats of the women’s 4 x 100 meter medley relay. Claire Curzan enters the conversation if she finishes second in the W 100 BK at the 2024 Olympic Team Trials.
Apparently UVA is not the best place for everyone.
does anyone know what Gretchen went in the 100 fly final?
Finals Results (Top 3)?

W 100 FL
Is that a PB for her?
What did Walsh G go in the 100 fly
G Walsh went 56.98, it’s in the last paragraph.
As for “Is that a PB for her?”, that’s answered in the title…
Thank you kindly
Was this a finals swim?
no, prelims
