Hungary’s Katinka Hosszu just missed her U.S. Open record in the women’s 200-meter IM at the Arena Pro Swim Series Santa Clara.

Hosszu, who set the mark with a top-ranked time of 2:08.66 at the Charlotte stop of the Series earlier this year, put up the second-fastest time in the world this year with a 2:09.19 for her fourth gold of the meet.

Earlier this week, Hosszu took down Katie Hoff‘s U.S. Open mark in the 400-meter IM.

California’s Caitlin Leverenz raced her way to second tonight in a time of 2:11.52, just off her seventh-ranked season best of 2:11.40 from the Orlando stop of the Series.

Trojan’s Yuliya Efimova, breaking out from her breaststroke speciality, took third in 2:12.91.

Madisyn Cox (2:14.51), PASA’s Karlee Bispo (2:14.82), California’s Celina Li (2:15.08), Hong Kong’s Siobhan Haughey (2:15.95), Argentina’s Virginia Bardach (2:17.29) and Ozaukee’s Katie Drabot (2:17.79) also vied for the IM title.

California’s Kelly Naze won the B final in a time of 2:16.38, while Crimson’s Brooke Zeiger placed second in 2:16.80. North Carolina’s Madison Homovich turned around from eighth in the 800 free to swim in the same lane for last in the consolation heat with a 2:23.08.
