• Pro Swim Series Record: 1:54.13, Summer McIntosh (2023)
• U.S Open Record: 1:54.13, Summer McIntosh (2023)

Top 8:

1. Siobhan Haughey (HKG) — 1:54.52
2. Katie Ledecky (GSC) — 1:54.97
3. Anna Peplowski (IU) — 1:56.99

6. Nicole Maier (UN) — 1:58.39
7. Simone Manuel (UN) — 1:59.25
8. Anastasia Gorbenko (UN) — 1:59.25

Siobhan Haughey led the women’s 200 freestyle from start to finish in San Antonio. She opened with a 26.95, opening up a lead as the only woman in the field sub-27 on the opening length. She flipped at the 100 mark in 55.78, under world record pace (where she often is at this point of the race).

Haughey held off Katie Ledecky over the last 50 meters. Ledecky split 29.18 on the final 50 meters but ran out of room to catch Haughey. Haughey won in 1:54.52, faster than she went to win her 200 freestyle world title in Doha.

Ledecky finished .45 seconds behind Haughey in a season-best 1:54.97, her first sub-1:56 outing of the season. Anna Peplowski swam a personal best to take 3rd. She swam 1:56.99, shaving three-hundredths off her personal best time.

Indiana’s Rafael Miroslaw jumped on the men’s 200 freestyle from the start, opening in 24.03. He continued to press his advantage, flipping at the 100 in 50.36. At the halfway point, he was 1.47 seconds ahead of Carson Foster.

He had to fight to hold off everyone else, as at 28.04 he had the slowest closing 50 meters of anyone else in the field. Miroslaw held on for the win in a 1:46.11; a solid in-season time for him that is not too far away from the season-best 1:45.84 he swam at 2024 Worlds.

Foster sat in second for the entire race. He touched .47 seconds back from Miroslaw with a 1:46.58, which is a new season-best for him. Kieran Smith took third in 1:47.41, getting his hand on the wall .01 seconds ahead of Luca Urlando.

Jack Aikins led through the first 150 meters of the race, splitting 27.58/29.65/30.51. He held a .47 second lead over Gavin Keogh as he made the final turn. But Hunter Tapp had something to say about that. He charged over the final 50, splitting a speedy 29.64.

Tapp went by Aikins as they went under the flags, earning the win in a season-best time of 1:58.52.

Aikins finished with a 1:58.81, splitting 30.98 on the final 50 which did the job to keep him ahead of Keogh. This was a huge swim for Keogh, who broke the 2:00 barrier for the first time, popping a 1:59.19 to round out the podium. His previous best stood at 2:00.64 from August 2023.

• U.S Open Record: 55.66, Torri Huske (2021)

Top 8:

1. Torri Huske (AAC) — 55.68 *Pro Swim Series Record*
2. Gretchen Walsh (UVA) — 56.14
3. Claire Curzan (UN) — 57.67
4. Regan Smith (UN) — 57.93

6. Beata Nelson (WISC) — 58.41
7. Siobhan Haughey (HKG) — 58.64
8. Kelly Pash (UN) — 58.67

Torri Huske put together a huge swim for her in the women’s 100 butterfly. Gretchen Walsh led at the turn, splitting 25.84. Huske was running second with a 25.96 and the two had already separated themselves from the rest of the field, as Beata Nelson was 3rd at the turn in 27.02.

Huske made her move on the second half of the race. She split 29.72 on the way home, pushing ahead for the win in a speedy 55.68. Not only does that swim lower the Pro Series Record she set this season by .45 seconds, it’s also just .04 seconds off her American record. This is also Huske’s first 55-point outing since 2022, which she pointed out herself in her post-race interview.

For her part, Walsh turned in a personal best of 56.14, chopping two-tenths off her personal best, which was 56.34.  That time makes her the third-fastest American all-time in the event.

On the second swim of her 200 backstroke/100 butterfly double, Curzan finished third in 57.63.

• Pro Swim Series Record: 50.80, Shaine Casas (2023)
• U.S Open Record: 49.76, Caeleb Dressel (2021)

Top 8:

1. Caeleb Dressel (GSC) / Hubert Kos (UN) — 50.84
2. (tie)
3. Eric Friese (GSC) — 51.84
4. Bjoern Kammann (TENN) — 52.45
5. Youssef Ramadan (VT) — 52.59
6. Zach Harting (CARD) — 52.94
7. Finn Brooks (IU) — 53.26
8. Tobias Schulrath (GER) — 53.36

In lane 4, Hubert Kos was first to the 50-meter mark in 23.70. He was followed by Finn Brooks (23.89) and Eric Friese (24.18). Caeleb Dressel was back in fifth with a 24.37 split.

Like we’ve gotten used to seeing him do, Dressel pushed the back half of the race. He powered through the field with a 26.47 closing split–the fastest in the field by .67 seconds. He pulled even with Kos and at the touch, there was nothing to separate them. Both stopped the clock at 50.84, which is the third fastest time in the world this season.

It’s a strong swim for both swimmers. It’s a lifetime best for Kos, beating the 51.23 that he put up in prelims and breaking 51 seconds for the first time. He came into the day with a 51.33 PB from the 2022 European Championships.

And for Dressel, it’s another time that’s his best since returning to the sport. He was 51.27 at the Westmont Pro Series, so this is his first time sub-51 since his return. Dressel’s fellow Gator Eric Friese took third in 51.84 and was the only other swimmer in the field to break 52 seconds in the final.
