In only his third time swimming the long course 100 back, Tanner Filion is an Olympic Trials semifinalist. In the penultimate heat, he split 25.85/28.55 to claim the 13th seed going into finals. He dropped 0.38-seconds, clocking a new personal best (54.40).

After a record-breaking run at Division 3 Whitman College that culminated in 2023 NCAA titles and records in the 100 back (45.75) and 200 back (1:41.17), he made the announcement that he would be transferring to Notre Dame for his Covid fifth-year.

There he continued to improve, highlighted by an 11th place finish in the 200 back (1:39.16) and two All-American relay honors (200 free relay, 400 free relay).

Prior to today, Filion had only swum the long course 100 back twice: at the 2023 Ohio Invite (54.78) and the 2023 U.S. Open (56.53).

Filion isn’t the only D3 champion at this meet. Two-time 100 breast champion Jennah Fadely of Kenyon was in action earlier this session, clocking a personal best 1:09.10 (19th) to miss the top 16 by just 0.29-seconds.
