Just minutes after setting a world best in the women’s 200-meter IM, Iron Lady Katinka Hosszu snared her sixth meet title with a personal best in the women;s 200-meter back at the Arena Pro Swim Series Charlotte.

Hosszu raced her way to a 2:07.79, downing her previous personal best of 2:08.32 from prelims this morning.

That swim shot her to third in the world behind only Emily Seebohm (2:06.69) and Daria Ustinova (2:07.29) and moved her closer to yet another Hungarian record currently held by Krisztina Egerszegi with a 2:06.62 from 1991.

Canada’s Dominique Bouchard took second in a time of 2:10.25, while Michigan’s Clara Smiddy placed third in 2:12.27.

Hali Flickinger (2:12.42), Erin Voss (2:12.77), Allie Szekely (2:13.36), Hannah Moore (2:13.84) and Carolina Colorado (2:15.99) closed out the top eight.

Kennedy Goss hit the wall in 2:12.17 to win the B final, while fellow Canadians Kylie Masse (2:12.96) and Barbara Jardin (2:14.97) went 2-3 in the consolation heat.
