The OSSC Sends 4 Swimmers to Nationals/World Champs Trials

Congrats to all of our age group and collegiate swimmers competing at the National Championships/World Championship Trials in Indianapolis June 27-July 1. We have four OSSC swimmers competing: two collegiate swimmers along with Jason Mathews and Janessa Mathews. 

These athletes are among the top 0.5 percent of swimmers from across the country to qualify for the Phillips 66 National Championships.

Prelims begin each day of competition at 9 a.m., followed by finals at 6 p.m.

This meet serves as the qualifier for the U.S. team in the pool competition at the 2017 FINA World Championships, which runs from July 23-30 in Budapest, Hungary. The winner of each Olympic event will claim an automatic spot on the roster, and a complete team selection procedure is outlined at usaswimming.org. Outside of the Olympic Games, the FINA World championships are the sport’s largest international competition.

Results at Phillips 66 Nationals also will qualify individuals for the U.S. rosters for the World University Games and FINA World Junior Championships – set for Aug. 23-28 in Indianapolis – later this summer.

Twelve hours of television coverage from Phillips 66 Nationals will be aired by NBC Sports Group with nightly broadcasts on NBC Sports Network and Universal HD and four hours of coverage on NBC on July 1-2. A webcast of the meet also will be available on usaswimming.org.

The Phillips 66 National Championships are part of the 2017 Team USA Summer Champions Series, presented by Comcast. The Champions Series showcases numerous Olympic sports throughout the season, highlighting the year-round quest of Team USA athletes to compete at the Olympic Games.
