Day two of the 2025 Speedo Winter Junior National Championships has arrived, with the boys’ and girls’ 500 free, 200 IM, and 50 free set to be swum.

TAC Titan’s Nikki Nixon headlines the scratches going into the session. Nixon was set to swim the 200 IM and 50 free back-to-back, and was seeded 11th in the 200 IM with a time of 1:59.43. She has since scratched that event, making for space for the 50 free, in which her time of 23.55 seeds her 112th.

Nixon’s strongest events will come later in the meet. She is seeded 2nd in the 200 butterfly, behind only Audrey Derivaux, with a time of 1:54.91. Her time of 51.84 in the 100 fly seeds her 3rd in the event, just behind top seed Charlotte Crush and 2nd seed Mena Boardman. Nixon is committed to study and swim at the University of Georgia in the class of 2027-2028.

Only one other top-20 seeded swimmer, Laker Swim Club’s Walter Zeman, scratched an event ahead of Thursday’s prelims. Zeman will forgo the boys’ 50 free, in which he was seeded 18th with a time of 20.36.

Zeman, who is committed to swim at Michigan in the fall of 2026, is scheduled to swim the 100 fly (108th seed) and 100 free (34th seed) later in the meet.
