Brooke Forde turned first after the fly in 1:02.39, about half-a-second ahead of Madisyn Cox.

Weyant was still leading at 250 meters, but Forde had cut her lead in half. Forde turned .12 ahead of Weyan at 300 meters in 3:32.58, but Weyant passed her by a meager .08 at 350 meters. Forde and Weyant were neck-and-neck down the final length, but Weyant surged over the final 50 meters to touch first in 4:35.47, notching the 5th-fastest time in the world this year.
