2024 PRO SWIM SERIES – WESTMONT

Day 2 Finals Heat Sheets

There were no scratches out of any ‘A’ finals tonight in Westmont, the second of three Pro Series stops for the year. The biggest scratch came from Simone Manuel in the 100 fly.

Manuel swam tied for the 16th fastest swim of the morning with a 1:01.32. She tied with Miriam Guevara who graduated from Northwestern last spring and now trains at Virginia Tech.

Manuel and Guevara did not have a swim-off for the spot in the B final and Guevara is seeded in lane 8, indicating that Manuel scratched.

Manuel’s best time in the event stands at a 1:56.09 which she swam to lead off the US women’s 4×200 free relay at the 2019 World Championships.
