Day 2 at the Indianapolis stop of the Pro Swim Series saw a pair of American swimmers take the headlines – although technically they were one current American and one future American. Katharine Berkoff came within 0.01 seconds of her own American Record in the women’s 50 back, while Ilya Kharun clocked 50.61 to win the men’s 100 fly.
Behind them were several notable swims, including Yi Zheng clocking another big PB in an IM event. He placed 3rd in the 400 IM in 4:15.36, slicing 1.70 seconds off his former best of 4:17.06. He split 57.07/1:05.70/1:13.16/59.43, ranking second in the field on the first three legs, and moves up from 5th to 3rd in the 15-16 age group behind only Carson Foster (4:14.73) and Michael Phelps (4:15.36).
Miranda Grana, one of an elite group of swimmers to have broken 50 seconds in the 100 back and 100 fly in yards, sliced 0.09 seconds off Miriam Guevara‘s Mexican record in the 100 fly as she won the ‘C’ final in 59.22. Guevara’s record had stood since 2018, and Grana sliced 0.36 seconds off her previous best of 59.58 set just two months ago.
Kaii Winkler made some noise with a German record in the 100 fly, but came back later in the evening to clock 24.85 in the 50 back to become the fifth-fastest German in history. His best prior to last night was 27.46, so he hacked 2.61 seconds off, continuing his form in yards for NC State this season after he placed 3rd at ACCs in 44.62.
Rylee Erisman followed up her 200 free PB from day 1 with a huge best in the 100 fly to win the ‘B’ final. She clocked 58.46 to drop 1.11 seconds from her two-year-old best of 59.57, setting a new 50 fly PB of 27.27 en route.
Enzo Solitario, who swam the #2 200 free split by a freshman at Big Tens in February, shaved a tenth of a second off his 100 fly best to take 2nd in the ‘B’ final in 52.94, lowering the 53.04 he swam at Junior Nationals last summer. He was 1:57.54 in the 200 fly there, which could now be in danger, especially as he was just 0.01 seconds off his 200 free PB on day one as he also placed 2nd in the ‘B’ final.
Emma Fouke vaulted to 50th in the girls’ 13-14 200 breast, as she lowered her 2:36.50 PB by more than three seconds to win the ‘D’ final in 2:33.35. She was out in 1:14.17, over a second and a half faster than the 1:15.83 she clocked at halfway in her previous best, and ended up being faster on all four 50s.
Finnley Conklin, just two weeks after clocking a huge best of 1:01.12 in the 100 breast, matched Fouke by hacking more than three seconds off his 200 breast PB (3.24 seconds for Conklin compared to 3.25 seconds for Fouke). He had a wicked back half of 1:07.48, faster than anyone else in the field, having gone out just half a second under his previous PB pace in 1:04.28. He looks to be one to watch for Louisville next year.
Aimee Canny swam what looks to be her first ever LCM 400 IM, placing 3rd in 4:38.09. She was just under a second off Kathryn Meaklim‘s South African record, having already matched her own PB as she placed 2nd in the 200 breast earlier in the session. Unsurprisingly given that, she had the fastest breaststroke leg in the field at 1:17.93, and was the only woman to come home under 30 seconds on the final 50.
David Kovacs hacked four seconds off his 400 IM best to go 4:22.26, with the Indiana freshman’s strongest leg looking like breaststroke through the first 50 of the stroke, as he split 36.85. That was faster than three of the swimmers in the ‘A’ final, although he couldn’t keep up the pace on the second 50 as he split 39.14 for 1:15.99 in total. His previous best of 4:26.84 was set last July, and featured a 1:17.36 breaststroke leg.
And finally, Ryan Erisman looks like he will be a serious contender for international teams heading into LA. He dropped some elite distance free times of 3:44.03/7:45.42/14:59.30 at the AP Race meet last month, and has set another two PBs so far this week of 1:$6.43 in the 200 free and 4:12.66 in the 400 IM. The latter, which was a seven second PB, also featured what appears to be the second-fastest closing 100 in history at 55.79 behind only Kosuke Hagino’s 55.75 from his Asian Games win in 2014, where he clocked 4:07.75.
