Sacramento Aquatics Club’s Lauren Lonsdale backed up her win in the 400 free on day 3 of the Sacramento Futures with a solid win in the 200 IM on day 4 for the 13-year-old.

Dropping over five seconds from her prelims swim of 2:21.20, Lonsdale would top the final standings with a finals performance of 2:15.96, just .19 seconds off of her personal best.

Lonsdale finishes Futures as a triple champion—400 IM, 400 free, and 200 IM.

In the men’s 800 free, 19-year-old Quinn Jones took over the field with a dominant win, finishing in 8:14.22 (.39 slower than his best set just 10 days ago), over seven seconds ahead of Landon Egeland, who finished 2nd with a big lifetime mark of 8:21.47.

Jones, who swims at the University of Utah, doubled up his distance wins, having won the 1500 free earlier in the meet, touching in 15:49.92, .4 seconds off of his lifetime best from 2024.

The men’s 50 breast had four sub-29 performances; Tyler Schneider was victorious in 28.74 (a new lifetime best from 2023 at 29.65). Rounding out the top four were 21-year-old Gavin Green (28.90, his first time under 29), 16-year-old Isaac Carsel (28.94, .03 faster than his best from the TYR Pro Swim Series in Sacramento), and 27-year-old Tom Higdon (28.95, just off of his top time of 28.30).

Top Finishers and Other Notable Performances:

• Louisville commit Jordan Ragland swam to a huge lifetime best in the 200 IM in 2:02.75, a time drop of over four seconds from his previous best of 2:07.12 from the Pro Swim Series in Sacramento back in April.
