WOMEN’S 400 FREE – Arena Pro Swim Series Orlando
Elizabeth Beisel, swimming through an injury, made her Orlando Pro Swim debut and won the 400 free in 4:10.99.
Beisel has been dealing with a groin injury she suffered during the 400 IM at the Austin Pro Swim Series event, and did not compete with Team USA in Australia earlier this year. Stopping into the commentators booth on the USA Swimming live feed last night, Beisel said she’s been training almost entirely freestyle as she waits for the groin to heal, and that training certainly helped her take home the win here and maintain her series points lead.
She beat Great Britain’s Hannah Miley, who’s had a very busy night, swimming in three different A finals. Miley went 4:12.63 at the end of her triple, good for second overall.
Danica Ludlow out of Canada was third, going 4:13.78 and closing out a top 3 that left the rest of the field in their dust.
Fellow Canadian Sam Cheverton went 4:16.15, just missing the prize money in fourth. Just behind were Kristel Kobrich (4:17.29), Kristen Jacobsen (4:17.31) and Kendall Brent (4:19.58).
