WOMEN’S 200 FLY – FINALS RECAP – 2015 Arena Pro Swim Series Austin
A pair of youngsters dueled in the front of the field early on as Mission Viejo 17-year-old Katie McLaughlin and Nation’s Capital 15-year-old Cassidy Bayer sat one and two at the 100-meter mark. A veteran field closed in, but the two teenagers kept several international medalists at bay and wound up tying for the event win at 2:09.12.
Third went to Pan Pacs gold medalist Cammile Adams at 2:09.25 and fourth was Hungarian vet Katinka Hosszu in 2:09.90.
Those four really separated from the field late after the whole group stayed bunched up for about the first 100 meters. A couple more young athletes led the second wave, as Longhorn Aquatics’ 16-year-old Victoria Edwards was 2:12.79 for fifth and Cal freshman Noemie Thomas was 2:12.99 for sixth.
Rounding out the A final were Edwards’ 15-year-old teammate Dakota Luther (2:13.32) and Jacomie Strydom of the UBC Thunderbirds (2:15.33).
Phoenixville 16-year-old Emma Seiberlich held onto the top seed in the B final, going 2:14.61 to take 9th overall.
No chance. Heck, even no chance when she decided to compete for CAL. The most overrated swimming program ever. Just look at Missy Franklin.
Missy is still very young ! she knows what to do ….. she has still a long career in swimming if she wants to . No problem there at all . When i see Murphy , Prenot , Adrian , Coughlin , Ervin with very goood results , i know Cal is a great training program .
very composed girl ! very bright future ahead waits for her .
I believe she’s happy and excited. 🙂
