2014 Arena Grand Prx at Santa Clara
Women’s 50 Freestyle – FINALS
The 50 free is always a toss up; nail your start; nail the finish. Cheyenne Coffman defended her morning swim, getting her hand on the wall first tonight with a time of 25.12. 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. She went 22.15 in the 50 yard freestyle and 47.9 in the 100 yard freestyle. She will be entering her senior year of high school. Simone Manuel was fourth at 25.44 and Maddy Schaefer finished fifth at 25.52. 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.
How tall is she? Looked about 6ft 2-3?
My daughter swam college with her. She is super nice AND….she’s 6’0.

lol…”there’s too many variables in basketball…like people don’t catch the ball and things”.
the fact that she only started at 17 means she’s got a LOT of improvement ahead of her…
I am CONSTANTLY amazed by how many new swimmers pop onto the radar between each olympic cycle. Trying to predict national teams is nearly impossible.
Congrats to all!
I wouldn’t consider her new… 22.2 in yards in college, and 25.7 at trials in 2012 placing top 20.
She’s a rising star! Watch out Manuel, Coughlin, Hardy, Kennedy, etc!
I need to see a video of this “Hanging touch your shins to your forehead” exercise. That sounds kind of impossible.
Cheyenne seems really nice.
