Manuella Lyrio downed a 16-year-old meet record in the women’s 200-meter free at the 2015 Jose Finkel Trophy.

Lyrio clocked a top time of 1:58.65, smashing the previous record of 1:59.98 set by Nadejda Tchemezova in 1999. She just missed her South American and Brazilian record of 1:58.03 from earlier this summer.

Leah Neale took second in 1:58.69, while Larissa Oliveira wound up third in 2:00.72.

Nicolas Oliveira lowered his own meet record in the men’s 200-meter free with a 1:47.41. That performance downed the 1:48.40 he set back in 2013.

Leonardo De Deus placed second in 1:49.33 with Joao Veras Amorim claiming third in 1:49.42.

Guilherme Guido, the eighth-ranked swimmer in the world in the men’s 100-meter back, crushed the field in the event with a time of 53.36.

Viviane Eichelberger rounded out the top three in the distance free with a 16:42.65.
