Ryan did well in Saturday's prelims, making the A finals in both the 100m fly and the 200m back and making the B final in the 50m free.  

In the 100 fly he finished 4th, with a time of 54.82.  The top 7 qualifiers in this event were within 1 second of each other.  It should be an exciting final.

Ryan also finished 4th in the 200 back, with a time of 2:02.57.  That's about what his prelim time was at the Ultraswim (I think), so that is pretty good.  It will be interesting to see how he does in the finals.

In the 50 free Ryan finished tied for 12th with a time of 23.68.  All of the top 18 qualifiers were very close and other than Nathan Adrian's 22.5, which was the fastest prelim time, only .78 seconds separates the 2nd fastest from the 18th fastest qualifier.  

Finals tonight at 5 p.m. PDT.  Watch live and get live results at www.swimnetwork.com
