WOMEN’S 100 FLY FINAL

  1. Hali Flickinger, ABSC, 59.06
  2. Kate Douglass, CPAC, 59.33
  3. Leah Gingrich, HURR, 59.63

Hali Flickinger completed an impressive double following her 200 free win, breaking her meet record of 59.14 from the heats in a time of 59.06. The time stands up as her sixth-fastest performance ever.

Shortly after her 100 breast win where she cracked 1:10 for the first time, Kate Douglass broke a minute for the first time in this event to take second in 59.33.

Leah Gingrich, who went sub-1:00 for the first time this morning in 59.94, had another PB for third in 59.63, and Abby Harter made it three women under a minute for the first time in their career in fourth (59.90).

Erika Brown blasted a 59.56 out of the ‘B’ final, over two and a half seconds quicker than she was in the morning. Brown has only been faster three times in her career, two of those coming at Summer Nats in 2018.

2.06.98 in the 200 fly and 4.08.37 in the 400 free in the same session. And then, on last day of the meet, 2.08.36 in the 200 back.
Flickinger continues her impressive season and we’ll see what she’ll swim after the taper.
The 400 Im, beside the 200 fly, could be a great option for her in the Olympic season.
