2024 SEC Swimming & Diving Championships

The second day of introductory heat papers

After things got rolling and diving Monday and Tuesday, the first full day of competition at the 2024 SEC Championships is ready.

Following the traditional NCAA schedule, this first preliminary session features heats in the women's and men's 500 free, 200 free, and 50 free.

The big news of heat sheets and primer report is just that Bella Sims She will not compete in the 500 freestyle, the event in which she has the best time in the NCAA this season (4:32.53). Instead, Sims NT is entered at 200 IM. Her best time in the event is 1:52.73 from the 2022 Winter Juniors. Her teammate Isabel Ivey She has the best time in the conference this season (1:54.18) and will also race in the 200 IM today.

Sims dropping 500 for free paves the way for Rachel Steeg To really control the race. Sims and Stege had a great fight at the Georgia Fall Invite; Sims won the race but Stege swam a massive personal best time of 4:32.87. This time gives her an advantage of about three seconds over the rest of the field heading into today.

In the men's 500 freestyle race, Jake Magahi And Charlie Hook They will race side by side in the final heat. Leading the way in the 800 freestyle relay yesterday, Hawk swam a time of 1:30.75, just 0.45 seconds off his personal best. He reached the 500 freestyle with a personal best of 4:12.91 from midway through the season and Magahy retains the top seed with a time of 4:10.60. Title holder Jake Mitchell Races heat up earlier.

Nelson is seeded with a time of 1:41.33 in the 200 freestyle and Crooks comes in with a time of 18.40 in the 50 freestyle from midseason. He and Josh Lindo— who raced the 800 freestyle relay on the first day instead of the 200 medley — are the only ones in the conference to run under 19 seconds this season but are looking to change that this morning.
