Women's 100 Breast Prelims
A-cut = 1:08.49
B-cut = 1:10.89

• 4th - Ashley McGregor - 1:08.39

A&M recruit Ashley McGregor finished 4th in the A-final tonight! Among the swimmers she beat was Annamay Pierce (World Record Holder in the 200m Breast). Great showing for the Aggie-to-be!

Day 4 - March 30

Women's 200 Fly
A-cut = 2:08.95
B-cut = 2:13.46

• Kendra Chernoff (9th)

Men's 100 Free
A-cut = 48.82
B-cut = 50.53

• Kyle Troskot (15th)

Women's 200 IM
A-cut = 2:13.36
B-cut = 2:18.03

• Julia Wilkinson (2nd)
• Melanie Dodds (6th)
• Ashley McGregor (18th)
• Paige Miller (53rd)

Kyle Troskot through to the 100m free A-final in 7th.

Kendra Chernoff will compete in the B-final of the 200 fly tonight, she finished 10th in prelims.

200IM is starting now.

What was Troskot's time?

(23.85) (26.63) - 50.48

Julia 2nd in 200 IM in 2:15.50, top seed Morningstar in 2:14.2. Wilkinson has at least two seconds to trop on the breaststroke leg alone. Would guess both make Olympics.

Troskot has a legitimate shot at the team in finals. Because of Hayden's 47.95 from Worlds, the other three relay swimmers need to average 49.73's tonight to make it. Two are 49-low. That means it's wide open (50.1 and up) for that other spot. If Troskot can go a 50.0 and take 4th, he'd be in.

Tall task, but probably the 3rd-best chance of the rest of the A&M crew to make the team in Canada (after McGregor in the 200 breast, and Julia of course).

Chernoff into the B-Final in the 200 fly. Not as good of a swim as the 100.

Kyle finished 8th in the 100m Freestyle with a time of 50.66.. Didn't have a very good start off the blocks (.77 & about 1/2 a body behind on 1st stroke) & had to fight like hell to get back in it. Pulled even with 4th & 5th with about 30m to go, but just ran out of gas late. Top four made the relay.

Gutsy swim by Kyle. He'll be a top contender in 2016 if he sticks with it!

Jules Rules Again!

It wasn't a fast race (by Julia's standards) by any means, but she came from behind in the last 20m & got her hand on the wall first in the 200IM!! Her second Olympic berth thus far!!

Melanie Dodds also had a good swim, finishing 5th!

Awesome! Congrats Jules! Thanks for the updates Shane. Wanted to watch her race but Ag baseball won out.

Darn double iPhone post!

I'm loving that she's beating the girls that took her national records to get these wins. Her will to win is part of what makes her who she is -- which is damn good. Way to go Julia!

Kyle is gonna have to finish 2nd and drop quite a bit tonight to get under the A-cut......that or shock all of Canada and take down Brent Hayden. Stranger things have happened...

Julia and Tess will both compete in the A-final tonight!

Shane, about what time (Texas time) will Julia swim tonight? I don't want to miss her race. Thanks! What a meet she is having, we are so proud of her!!!

Finals will start at 6pm CST and the only two finals before hers are the men & women's 50 Free, so I would guess that she's gonna swim pretty quick. Probably your best bet to watch it starting at 6 pm.

Kyle finished 4th in the 50 Freestyle with a time of 22.84. Nobody under the A-cut..

Julia just didn't have enough gas to complete the sweep. She DID however, go a best time by a couple seconds, to claim the bronze medal!

Heck of a week by Jule, so so proud of her!
