Brittany Maclean finished in the same position as she did in the 1500, finishing second with her time of 4:07.23. She was just able to touch out Andreina Pinto, beating her to the wall by .02 seconds. Cierra Runge, the top qualifier, finished fourth in 4:08.01; almost two seconds ahead of her morning swim. Maya DiRado won the B-final of the women’s 400 freestyle with her time of 4:13.52.
“I know I’m on the right way, and I know I’ll do good!” Awesome attitude from a beautiful, accomplished woman. The Danish team is REALLY looking good. They should contend for a lot of medals in the big meets for the next few years, even the 4 x 100 Medley Relay.
