Josh Matheny finished second in the men’s 200-meter breaststroke, all but punching his ticket to Paris Wednesday night in Lucas Oil Stadium.
- Matheny touched in 2:08.86 behind Penn’s Matt Fallon (2:06.54). With the result, Matheny is eligible for selection to the U.S. Olympic Team and will likely receive that selection later this week.
- Lilly King reached the final of the women’s 200-meter breaststroke in 2:22.45, looking to lock up her second event in Paris. King fell behind Alex Walsh at the 150-meter mark but closed in 36.28 to come from behind and touch in first by 36 hundredths.
- King will be the No. 2 seed in Thursday’s final, only behind Kate Douglass (2:21.23).
- Mariah Denigan was honored at Lucas Oil Stadium as a member of the 2024 U.S. Olympic Team with two other open water swimmers.
- A swimming-meet-record 22,209 spectators attended Wednesday night’s session in Indianapolis.
- Next session: Ten Hoosiers will swim in three preliminary events on Thursday. The morning session kicks off at 11 a.m. ET.
