U.S. Olympic medalist Amanda Weir took on the 200 free on day 2, using her front half speed to lead from start to finish. Weir touched in 1:45.53 to take the gold, finishing nearly 3 seconds ahead of the field. Austin Swim Club’s Matthew Willenbring had a fast swim in the men’s version of that event.
