RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil, May 7. THE second morning of long course meter finals at the Maria Lenk Trophy meet held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil featured even more South American records coming off the board.
After initially being one-upped by Kaio Almeida's exhibition swim last night, Gabriel Mangabeira was the last man standing with the men's 100 fly South American record. Mangabeira clocked a time of 51.21 to break Almeida's short-lived standard of 51.64 and win the event.
Last night, Mangabeira nearly beat Albert Subirats' South American record of 51.71 with a 51.73 in qualifying. However, Almeida tracked down Subirats' time with the 51.64 in an exhibition swim in the final heat.
Mangabeira's time of 51.21 put him within striking distance of the world record of 50.40 held by American Ian Crocker. Frederico Castro wound up taking second by more than a second with a 52.22, while Fernando Silva finished third in 52.26.
Fabiola Molina added the women's 50 back to the South American record broken at the meet. Molina completed the sprint event in 28.19 to nip her previous record of 28.22 set in September 2008. Etiene Medeiros finished second in 28.55, while Fernanda Alvarenga placed third in 29.04.
The South American records kept falling in the men's 50 back. Guilherme Guido posted a swift time of 24.71 to become the fifth best in the history of the event. The time beat Guido's record of 24.79 set last night in prelims. Daniel Orzechowski finished second in 25.41 with Leonardo Guedes taking third in 25.76.
Monique Ferreira claimed the women's 200 free title this morning with a time of 2:00.59 after setting the South American record during prelims last night with a 1:59.78. That effort wiped out her previous standard of 2:00.62 set in March 2008. Manuella Lyrio placed second in 2:03.22, while Isabelle Longo wound up third in 2:03.32.
With Nicolas Oliveira, who set the South American record last night with a 1:46.90, scratching due to a family emergency, Lucas Salatta snared the men's 200 free title in 1:48.63. Andrew Schultz placed second in 1:49.50, while Rodrigo Castro joined them under 1:50 with a 1:49.57.
Gabriella Silva topped the women's 100 fly with a time of 58.45. The time came up a bit short of her preliminary effort of 58.25 from last night, but was easily good enough for the win. Paula Ferreira finished second in 59.09, while Dandara Antonio claimed third in 1:00.97.
Joanna Maranhao won the women's 400 IM in 4:40.01, just missing her Brazilian record of 4:40.00 set at the 2004 Athens Olympics. Julia Siqueira wound up second in 4:53.75, while Larissa Cieslak took third in 4:57.07.
Thiago Pereira ended the morning with a winning time of 4:14.00 in the men's 400 IM. The swim came up short of the South American record of 4:11.14 he set in 2007, but was enough to secure a spot at the World Championships. Henrique Rodrigues finished second in 4:18.93 with Diogo Yabe taking third in 4:19.70.
In 200 free relay action, the foursome of Flavia Delaroli (25.52), Michelle Lenhardt (25.36), Ana Carolina Santos (26.07) and Julyana Kury (25.07) won the women's title in 1:41.71 to get a meet record. Nicholas dos Santos (21.75), Cesar Cielo (21.18), Fernando Silva (21.85) and Bruno Fratus (21.64) then tracked down the South American record for the men's crown in 1:26.42.

May 7, 2009 SwimDER94, Kaio is not assigned to any club team(Financial matters- I think).Only club members can swim finals in Maria Lenk Trophy. Submitted by: MrIron
