A pair of 1:44s went up on the board today as Bulldog’s Shannon Vreeland (1:44.29) led Hurricane’s Katie Hoff (1:44.74) into the wall during the final heat of the morning.  That’s an in-season best for Vreeland, who previously clocked a 1:44.46 at the Georgia Fall Invitational back in 2012.  Her lifetime best is a 1:41.83 from lat year’s SEC Championships.

Hoff, meanwhile, is just a second-and-a-half off her lifetime best of 1:43.10 from the 2007 NBAC Christmas Invitational.  Elizabeth Beisel snared a lifetime best with her third-ranked 1:45.66. She beat the 1:46.05 she set way back in 2008 for BlueFish, and has now broken the 1:46 barrier for the first time.

Tucson Ford’s Margo Geer (1:45.83), Minnesota’s Tori Simenec (1:46.45), Mission Viejo’s Katie McLaughlin (1:46.70) and Stanford’s Maya DiRado (1:46.82) rounded out the top seven.

Megan Romano, now training in Texas, tied Minnesota’s Kiera Janzen for the eighth-and-final transfer spot into finals with 1:47.18s.

Notably, Paralympian Mallory Weggemann posted a 2:43.31 this morning as well.  Weggemann was just on the Morning Swim Show to talk about her return to the sport after a variety of injuries.

Not seeing a Paralympic classification listed for Weggemann in any official meet information, Swimming World asked for clarification on Weggemann’s classification for this meet.  U.S. Paralympics responded that the meet is not sanctioned for Paralympic records.

“In Paralympic competition, Mallory Weggemann swims in the S8 classification for most strokes, while her classification for the breaststroke is SB7 and her classification for the individual medley is SM8. Classification is a system developed by the International Paralympic Committee to ensure that competition is fair and equal with athletes who have similar abilities competing against each other.

The Arena Grand Prix at Minneapolis is not an event sanctioned by the International Paralympic Committee and classifications will not be used, allowing Mallory to compete against athletes who have different ability levels, including those who are able-bodied. It is not uncommon for Paralympic swimmers to train and compete with or against able-bodied swimmers but Mallory’s results from Minneapolis will not count toward any U.S. Paralympics or IPC ranking.”

Men’s 200 free

NBAC’s Conor Dwyer put on a show in his heat of the 200 free with a 1:34.42.  He’ll likely challenge his in-season best of 1:32.09 set here in Minneapolis last year during finals tonight.  The big question is whether he can take a run at his personal best of 1:31.73 from the 2011 Southeastern Conference Championships.

Darian Townsend, swimming for NYAC, powered his way to second this morning in 1:35.48, while SwimMAC’s Tyler Clary touched third in 1:36.62.  California’s Nathan Adrian, stretching out his typical sprint focus, qualified fourth in 1:36.88.  He’s about a second off his in-season best of 1:35.37 from the 2008 Husky Invitational.

Wisconsin’s Michael Weiss (1:37.01), NBAC’s Frank Dyer (1:37.10), Club Wolverine’s Connor Jaeger (1:37.23) and Mission Viejo’s Grant Shoults (1:37.38) all made the finale as well.  Shoults is the youngster at 17 years old compared to the rest of the veterans in finals.

Women’s 100 breast

Saint Petersburg’s Melanie Margalis threw down a lifetime best in prelims of the 100 breast with a 59.04.  That downed her previous top time of 59.34 from the 2012 Georgia Fall Invitational, and sets her up to take a run at breaking 59 seconds for the first time.

Four swimmers managed to turn in 1:00s as they will be the primary swimmers to chase Margalis tonight.  Gator’s Hilda Luthersdottir (1:00.45), Minnesota’s Kierra Smith (1:00.46), Hurricane’s Katie Hoff (1:00.59) and Minnesota’s Haley Spencer (1:00.61). That’s a best for the 25-year-old Hoff, who previously had a 1:01.44 from the 2012 FGC Senior Championships as she continues to round into form following a back injury.

Badger’s Bronwyn Pasloski (1:01.24) and Emily McClellan (1:01.32) finished sixth and seventh with Karlee Bispo also making finals in 1:01.70.

A pair of age group wonders will battle in the 100-yard fly tonight as SWAT 16-year-old Beata Nelson (52.13) and Mission Viejo 17-year-old Katie McLaughlin (52.81) led qualifying. Nelson just set the national high school record and 15-16 national age group record with a 51.70 in Wisconsin last week, clearing McLaughlin’s 51.78 from May.  This is McLaughlin’s first chance at a head-to-head swim since the record fell.

Minnesota’s Becca Weiland turned in a third-seeded time of 52.84 as the only other sub-53 of the morning, while teammate Danielle Nack earned fourth in 53.19.

Minnesota’s Tori Simenec (53.49), Longhorns’ Lisa Boyce (53.70), Minnesota’s Devin Ste Marie (53.97) and OAK’s Dominique Bouchard (54.19) also made their way into the championship eight.  Bulldogs’ Shannon Vreeland just missed her chance as a double final tonight with a ninth-place 54.29 following her top seed in the 200 free.

Men’s 100 fly

Club Wolverine had a strong outing with Miguel Ortiz taking the top seed in 45.77 and Junya Koga landing in second with a 46.73.  Phoenix’s Giles Smith rounded out the top three qualifiers with a time of 46.97.

Kyler Van Swol placed fourth this morning in 47.37, 15-year-old pro swimmer Michael Andrew qualified fifth in 47.60.

Andrew is back Stateside after a three-meet stint at the FINA World Cup.  Andrew has a legitimate chance at the 15-16 national age group record of 46.99 owned by Alex Valente.  Considering Andrew’s personal best is a 46.95 that stands as the 13-14 national age group record, all he needs to do is set a lifetime best to break Valente’s record.

Minnesota’s Daryl Turner (47.66), Badger’s James Wells (48.52) and NBAC’s Frank Dyer (48.60) closed out the rest of the top eight.

Women’s 400 IM

Former BlueFish Swim Club swimmers definitely had a strong performance in the women’s distance medley. First, Elizabeth Beisel checked in with the top seed of 4:05.84.  Meanwhile, sisters 18-year-old Brooke (4:06.63) and 16-year-old Liz (4:16.65) earned the second and sixth seeds.

That’s a huge personal best for Brooke, down from her 4:11.96 in March, while Liz is just off her best of 4:16.01 from last December and will likely clear it tonight.

For a deeper look at the Zeiger sisters, check out this awesome feature from Swimming World CeraVe Invite interns Brook Jiang and Heidi Torregroza: The Zeigers: A Swimming Family Like No Other

The Zeigers now compete for Crimson Aquatic.

Stanford’s Maya DiRado (4:09.33), California’s Caitlin Leverenz (4:09.36), Saint Petersburg’s Melanie Margalis (4:14.77), Iowa Flyers’ Ruby Martin (4:17.24) and Minnesota’s Breanne Siwicki (4:17.28) claimed the rest of the championship lanes.

USA Swimming released the following video of DiRado and Leverenz underwater.
