2010 Pan Pacs Day 2 Update: Phelps Fails to A-Final in 400 IM
Read about the prelims at theswimmerscircle.com. Ryan qualified first with a time of 4:08.77. Tyler Clary came in second with a time of 4:09.20. Ryan and Tyler swam in the same heat. Michael Phelps finished first in his heat but had the fourth fastest time overall with a 4:15.38. Because only the top two Americans qualify for the A final, MP will be relegated to the B final tonight.
The two fastest times from finals will make the 2011 Worlds team.
A recap of all of today's prelims can be found here: http://www.swimmingworldmagazine.com/lane9/news/24874.asp
Notably, Ryan skipped the 100 free today. I'm not surprised as I think he swam the 100 free at Nationals to qualify for the relay. It would have been difficult to do well in the 400 IM if he swam the 100 free first. Ryan also has the 4 x 200 free relay tonight.
Edit: Michael Phelps is not going to swim the B final of the 400 IM. http://www.usatoday.com/sports/olympics/2010-08-19-pan-pacific-championships_N.htm?csp=34sports&utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+UsatodaycomSports-TopStories+%28Sports+-+Top+Stories%29
The 4 x 200 free relay will be exciting tonight. It will be interesting to see how close the US team can get to their world record.
