Once again, Emma Sticklen posted a sub-1:50 200 fly this season, posting a 1:49.87 to post a dominant win at the Eddie Reese Showdown. Sticklen has seemingly perfected this race and doesn’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon with SEC and NCAA Championships on the horizon.
What a great attitude and energy she has! Also, ripping 1:49s at non championship meets mid season is wild.
Is that the most 1:49s ever by one person?
Sticklen has 5, Regan Smith has 2 (counting the 1:48), everyone else has 1 (Walsh, Breeden, Eastin).
She owns the 4th, 5th, 7th, 9th, and 10th fastest performances, with #11 going to Eastin @ 1:50.01
Hoping that Regan takes a year off in 2 Fly and/or Emma progresses in LCM enough to secure that 2nd 2 Fly National team spot. She’s one of the most vibrant and personable athletes in the sport and has been so close for a couple years now, would love to see her in Singapore this summer and beyond
I bet if she has a LCM season like she is having this SCYseason she could make the worlds team (thats if she decides to keep swimming after the college season
She’s getting married in July so hopefully that doesn’t interfere with training camp etc (assuming she makes the team)
Why would you hope for that? I would not hope for our best 200 flier to not swim it because I want someone to make the team.
Emma benefits big time from SCY, her UWs are killer. If Capitani can get her to unleash her potential on top of the water, she can get there. If Emma can make some international teams for SC worlds or something like that, she would do great there too.
her 2:07 long course PB tells me she’s not just an underwater specialist
Well duh, but people still called G. Walsh an UW merchant with a PB of 53 in the LCM 100 free. I’m just saying comparatively, she has more impact in SCY.
