Also with a lifetime best today was incoming Stanford freshman Katie Drabot in the 400 free, where she threw down 4:13.33 to win the event. Close behind her was Wisconsin Aquatics’ Danielle Valley, who took second in 4:14.08.
Drabot scored a second win in the women’s 100 fly, clocking about .3 away from her personal best with 1:00.30.
The men’s 200 free went to Sean Maloney of Wisconsin Aquatics in 3:57.75, while Abigail Schwartz of St. Croix Swim Club won a hotly-contested 200 back final with 2:18.05.
Each of the breaststroke champions won by about a three second margin, with Wisconsin Aquatics’ Maria Carlson taking the 100 breast in 1:09.70 and Connor McHugh winning in 1:01.83.
The final victor of the night was incoming Ohio State freshman Alexander Dillmann of Maverick Swim Club, who outtouched Minnesota’s Bowen Becker for the 100 fly win with 55.00 to Becker’s 55.05.
good!great…very solid!.huge potential!!..stay healthy & lets get 1-2 in 2back at tokyo games
No mention of the Women 18&U’s 800 Free Relay?! That was the fastest time in the US by 8 seconds?!
On a totally unrelated note, can we get Michael Andrew to swim a mile?
Why?
Good idea, I would like to see that.
A duel of Michael Andrew vs. Anthony Earvin in 1,500 would be entertaining, don’t you think?
That’s probably more mileage than an entire USRPT practice!
Crazy to think that all of the finalists at Ot in the men’s 200 back could most likely final in Rio
Crazy that you think that way.
The slowest of Kazan finalists was Li Gangyuan in 1:56.79
In Omaha, the fifth-placed finalist was Austin Katz in 1:57.20.
I’m just pointing it out that the US men have great backstroke depth.
US HAS ALWAYS THAT GREAT DEPTH IN BACKSTROKE….FUTURE IS MORE BRIGHT WITH MICHAEL TAYLOR/LEHANE AND OFCOURSE WITH
with . . . Destin Lasco of course. 🙂
Cool but that’s not what you pointed out.
