As we’ve become accustomed to seeing, the ASU pros were swimming time trials during the ASU/NCS dual on Friday. This included Regan Smith diving in for a 200y fly, where the Olympian and world champion had a best time (yards) of 1:49.78. She crushed that today, as well as the US Open and American records held by Ella Eastin since the 2018 Pac 12 Championships, clocking a 1:48.33.
| Regan Smith (New US Open/American Record) | Ella Eastin (Old US Open/American Record) | |
| 24.75 | 25.27 | |
| 27.60 (52.35) | 28.24 (53.51) | |
| 28.18 (1:20.53) | 27.87 (1:21.38) | |
| 27.80 (1:48.33) | 28.13 (1:49.51) |
Smith has been a regular in the 200 fly, swimming it at many major short course and long course meets over the past few years. At the 2022 NCAA Championships, Smith tied for 2nd (1:51.19), notably competing in it after winning the title in the 200 back in the same session. Internationally, Smith has a silver medal in the 200 fly from the Tokyo Olympics and a bronze from this summer’s world championships.
Smith also holds the US Open/American records in the 200 fly long course, clocking a 2:03.87 last summer in the same pool. This is yet another sign that Smith’s move to train with Bob Bowman at ASU is working for the young pro.
That is MENTAL considering that they cant be even remotely rested. What is she going to do at NCAA’s? 1:45?
Id like to see more LCM swims from the top elites even though its an NCAA season. Paris is approaching.
Did Regan swim LC on Saturday? Their meet mobile on Saturday sucked! Also were they in tech suits? Times weren’t anything special across the board!
lol at some of these events. 200y. May as well have 27y or 602y and records. What’s the point?
What else/ Pool Egg & Spoon Race WR?
*prepared for Murrican downvotes*
Your comment makes it sound like there’s a huge difference between 25 yards vs 25 meters. Both are what some people call “bathtub”
It’s hard – you want swim fans to remember TWO things? Yards and meters?!?!
I know, pretty difficult brainpower for some people to follow.
It’s almost as if track and field held events for both the metric 1500 and the traditional mile. Oh wait….
Watching Long Course is less exciting than short course.
Because they were going slow….we’re they in tech suits?
Makes you wonder what Yufei would go in a yards meet.
I don’t wonder this at all.
Really. Wouldn’t that be fun.
Ella Eastin was so great in SCY (400 IM, 200 fly)
A shame her SCY didn’t translate well to LCM
I don’t think this is true. She had some really unfortunate and poor timed health issues that set her back the summers following those incredible NCAA runs. We never saw the full potential of a healthy Ella Eastin in the long course pool. It’s one of the big what if swimmers that come to mind for me in long course. I think she had just as much skill in the LC pool.
I always felt she was on her way to LCM, then had that DQ which looked to have messed with the momentum and then her health issues. Either way, like you said, a shame we didn’t see it in LCM.
It did, she just had terrible luck.
None of this matters when she choked again Kaylee….
1:48.33 in the 2 fly and 1:48.37 in 2 IM — both absurd US Open records — so why not have Smith and Douglass face off next!?!
face off in what?
That is so insanely fast. Really strong at the end!
