\t\t\t\t\t2026 Sacramento Pro Swim Series<\/p>\n
The final Pro Swim Series session of the calendar year is upon us. As many national teamers gun for the last round of cash prizes, there is one name notably missing: World Champion Katharine Berkoff<\/a>.<\/p>\n The 25-year-old backstroke ace forfeited her spot in the 200 backstroke final. She was seeded third after the semi-finals where she posted a 2:10.87. Only her fellow national teamers, Phoebe Bacon<\/a> and Rhyan White, turned in swifter times.<\/p>\n Many swim fans may be surprised by this scratch, as Berkoff already swam through two rounds of the event and cash prizes for the event are doubled. With #4 seed Kennedi Dobson<\/a> trailing Berkoff by over two and a half seconds, a podium finish would seem like a safe bet.<\/p>\n Earlier in the meet, Berkoff delivered comfortable margins of victory in both the 50 and 100 back.<\/p>\n Beyond Berkoff, two other national team women headline the final session\u2019s scratches: Caroline Bricker<\/a> and Phoebe Bacon<\/a>. Both of these women will forego a second swim in what is an off-event for them, the 100 breaststroke, in favor of focusing on more core events. As previously mentioned, Bacon will compete in the 200 back final, while Bricker is the heavy favorite to take the 200 fly.\u00a0<\/p>\n In other news, Levenia Sim<\/a> opted to end her meet early after her sister announced her retirement yesterday. University of Georgia star Kennedi Dobson<\/a> curbed an 800 free\/200back\/100 free triple by renouncing her name from the latter event.<\/p>\n Full Scratch List<\/p>\n Women\u2019s 50 Fly Final<\/p>\n Men\u2019s 50 Fly Final<\/p>\n #7 Brandon Ha (Dart Swimming) Women\u2019s 100 Breast Final<\/p>\n Men\u2019s 100 Breast Final<\/p>\n Women\u2019s 200 Back Final<\/p>\n Men\u2019s 200 Back Final<\/p>\n Women\u2019s 100 Free Final<\/p>\n Men\u2019s 100 Free Final<\/p>\n Women\u2019s 200 Fly Final<\/p>\n Men\u2019s 200 Fly Final<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"2026 Sacramento Pro Swim Series The final Pro Swim Series session of the calendar year is upon us.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":329882,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[73597,131806,135344,136912,131451,121,123,122],"class_list":["post-329881","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sacramento","tag-caroline-bricker","tag-katharine-berkoff","tag-kennedi-dobson","tag-levenia-sim","tag-phoebe-bacon","tag-sacramento","tag-sacramento-headlines","tag-sacramento-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/329881","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=329881"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/329881\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/329882"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=329881"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=329881"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=329881"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
