On the second night of finals at the 2023 U.S. Open, the women’s and men’s 400 free, 200 IM, and 50 free will be contested.
The session starts with a battle between the top two seeds Katie Ledecky and Summer McIntosh in the 400 free. At last year’s U.S. Open, the two swimmers were separated by just 0.07 seconds in this event with Ledecky coming out on top. On the men’s side, Kieran Smith is the top seed, with Drew Kibler and Luca Urlando following. Urlando notably posted a 3:51.45 in prelims, his second-fastest performance ever.
Defending world champion Kate Douglass is the top seed in the 200 IM, clocking a 2:10.03 in the morning. She will be facing off against her UVA training partner Alex Walsh, as well as other domestic rivals like Torri Huske and Regan Smith. Meanwhile, Trenton Julian and Hubert Kos were separated by just 0.1 in the men’s 200 IM heats and will be the top two seeds heading into finals.
In the women’s 50 free, Abbey Weitzeil, Douglass, and Gretchen Walsh posted times of 24.53, 24.54, and 24.59 in prelims respectively, and could be in for another tight battle during finals. Top seed Quintin McCarty will look to back up his breakout 21.94 personal best in the men’s 50 free from prelims. Meanwhile, Caeleb Dressel will swim in the ‘B’ final after going 22.35 in prelims — his fastest 50 free in 19 months.
