Where else to start than seven-time Olympic champion Ledecky?

The freestyle specialist will focus on her less-dominant women's 200m and 400m events in Texas, despite also being ranked No. 1 in the nation this year in the 800m and 1500m.

Tokyo 2020 Team USA star Dressel has struggled for pace this season thus far, and will be looking to lay down a statement of intent in the men's 100m butterfly, 50m, 100m and 200m free and 200m IM.

Elsewhere, keep an eye out for red-hot Michael Andrew, who ranks above Dressel this season in both the men's 50m free and 100m butterfly.

Rising star Shaine Casas is also someone Dressel will have his eye on in the 100m fly and the 100m free.

Rio 2016 Olympic gold medallist Lilly King will race in the women's 100m and 200m breaststroke, while reigning 400m IM Olympic champion Chase Kalisz is entered for the 100m breaststroke, 100m and 200m butterfly, 200m breaststroke and 200m IM.
