Day 2 Finals Heat Sheet<\/a><\/p>\n

It is time for the 2nd finals session of the 2026 Pro Swim Series in Sacramento, and tonight, we have three events where the athletes will earn $3,000 for a win rather than the typical $1,500 award.<\/p>\n

The meet will kick off with the women\u2019s 1500 freestyle, one of the $3,000 events. In the prelims, Thilda Haell<\/a> broke her own Swedish National Record with a time of 16:27.71, and she will be trying to replicate or better that performance tonight.<\/p>\n

The other \u201cdouble-money\u201d events are the women\u2019s and men\u2019s 200 freestyle. Kennedi Dobson<\/a> is the women\u2019s top seed by about a second over Bella Sims<\/a>, while the men\u2019s event will see Henry McFadden<\/a> come in as the leader, just under three tenths ahead of Luka Mijatovic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Also on the docket this evening are the men\u2019s and women\u2019s 200 breaststroke semifinals, and the finals for the 100 fly, 50 back, and 400 IM.<\/p>\n
