Madison Kennedy finished second with a time of 25.23, and 16 year old Amy Bilquist finished third with a best time of 25.32. Bilquist had a fantastic yards season.

Technical issues iced the B-final heat of the women’s 50 freestyle, but that didn’t seem to be an issue for Lia Neal, who won with a time of 26.21.
