The evening will kick off with what looks to be a fantastic race in the girls 100 free between Australian 18-year-old Milla Jansen and American15-year-old Rylee Erisman. Coming into the meet seeded just 0.09 seconds apart, Jansen clocked the top time in this morning’s prelims with a 54.19, while Erisman was right behind in 54.29. They were the only swimmers in the field to go under 55 seconds this morning, so this race tonight looks like it will likely be between the two.
South Korea’s Kim Youngbeom had a phenomenal swim in prelims of the boys 100 free this morning, clocking a huge new career best of 48.65. He led the field by over a second, setting himself up very well for tonight.
Australian 15-year-old Sienna Toohey is another swimmer to keep a close eye on tonight. The youngster led prelims of the girls 100 breast this morning by over a second as well. She went 1:07.68, a personal best by a few hundredths of a second. That swim puts her in a league of her own within this field. If someone is going to challenge Toohey tonight, they’ll have to match her front half speed, which is much harder said than done.
