Women’s 200 fly

SwimMAC’s Cammile Adams turned in a strong in-season time to capture the women’s 200-meter fly at the 2015 Arena Pro Swim Series Minneapolis.

Adams back-halfed her way to victory with a top time of 2:08.16.  That swim missed Mary DeScenza’s 2008 pool record of 2:07.26.

Schroeder Y’s Hannah Saiz earned second overall in a time of 2:10.37 with Trojan’s Haley Anderson demonstrating her pool speed away from open water with a third-place time of 2:10.77.

NBAC’s Becca Mann (2:11.16), California’s Noemie Thomas (2:12.38), Louisville’s Kelsi Worrell (2:12.58) and IFly’s Ruby Martin (2:13.18) also battled in the A final.

California’s Caitlin Leverenz picked up the B final win in the event with a time of 2:12.19. NBAC’s Sierra Schmidt raced her way to second in 2:12.80 with Stanford’s Maya DiRado taking third in 2:13.05.

Men’s 200 fly

NBAC’s Chase Kalisz had more in the tank in the men’s 200-meter fly as he overtook superstar training partner Michael Phelps for the win at the 2015 Arena Pro Swim Series Minneapolis.

With Phelps out in 56.04 to lead at the halfway mark, Kalisz powered home with a winning time of 1:58.07.  That’s still not a super fast time at this part of the season, but still showed some racing ability against the greatest of all time.

Phelps settled for silver with a time of 1:58.38 as he finished just behind Kalisz.

Mission Viejo’s Grant Shoults took third overall in 2:00.41, while Nashville’s Dakota Hodgson placed fourth in 2:00.64.

Princeton’s Corey Okubo (2:00.66), SwimMAC’s Tyler Clary (2:00.81), Missouri’s Mack Darragh (2:01.19) and Club Wolverine’s Michael Flach (2:01.83) also swam in the finale.

Northern Kentucky’s Brendan Meyer took home the consolation heat win in 2:01.72 with Gator’s Sebastien Rousseau snaring second in 2:02.10. Santa Clara’s Kyler Van Swol picked up third in 2:02.83.

Men’s 50 free

California’s Nathan Adrian blasted a 13-year-old pool record with a win in the men’s 50-meter free at the 2015 Arena Pro Swim Series Minneapolis.

Canyon’s Santo Condorelli turned in a 22.24 to take second overall while Tucson Ford’s Brad Tandy claimed third in 22.27.

George Bovell (22.44), Club Wolverine’s Geoff Cheah (22.71), Marcelo Chierighini (22.75), Louisville’s Joao De Lucca (22.82) and Trinity Prep’s Elvis Burrows (22.86) also swam in the championship heat.

Women’s 100 back

Colorado Stars’ Missy Franklin won her first individual gold since NCAAs with a win in the women’s 100-meter backstroke at the 2015 Arena Pro Swim Series Minneapolis.

Franklin turned in a top time of 1:00.18 as she claimed victory for the first time since missing gold at the 2015 Santa Clara Arena stop, 2015 Worlds as well as several stops on the 2015 FINA World Cup circuit.

That’s a good sign for Franklin as she still adjusts to being a full time professional swimmer with the weight of an entire country on her shoulders.

Toronto’s Kylie Masse took second in 1:00.31 with Oakville’s Dominique Bouchard placing third in 1:00.66.

California’s Rachel Bootsma (1:01.02), Stanford’s Maya DiRado (1:01.07), SwimMAC’s Kirsty Coventry (1:01.15), California’s Amy Bilquist (1:01.39) and California’s Kathleen Baker (1:01.47) finished fourth through eighth.

Regan Smith, 13 out of Riptide Aquatics, won the B final in a time of 1:01.49.  Kendyl Stewart finished second in 1:01.95.

Women’s 400 free

NCAP’s Katie Ledecky dropped more than five seconds off the pool record today in the women’s 400-meter free at the 2015 Arena Pro Swim Series Minneapolis.

Ledecky, who already clocked a scorching 3:59.13 to lead the world this year at Worlds, put up a 4:03.05 during prelims to break Allison Schmitt’s pool record of 4:07.78 from 2011.

Tonight, Ledecky took it a step more with a strong 4:02.67 for the win.  That’s fastest than the second-fastest swimmer of the year, Sharon van Rouwendaal’s 4:03.02 from Worlds.

Virginia’s Leah Smith put in a nearly season best time of 4:04.67 for second.  That’s just off her sixth-ranked 4:04.66 from the World University Games.

NBAC’s Becca Mann took third in 4:07.67, while NBAC teammate Cierra Runge placed fourth in 4:07.99.

Mission Viejo’s Stephanie Peacock (4:08.23), Badger’s Lindsay Vrooman (4:09.81), Trojan’s Haley Anderson (4:13.22) and NBAC’s Allison Schmitt (4:13.53) also vied for the title in finals.

NBAC’s Sierra Schmidt touched out Saint Petersburg’s Melanie Margalis for the B final win, 4:11.33 to 4:11.52.
