The splash-and-dash took over the middle portion of prelims with China’s Zhu Menghui turning in a swift 25.08 for the top time out of prelims.  Australia’s Lucy McJannett (25.28) and USA’s Amy Bilquist (25.30) finished second and third in the sprint event.

Australia’s Shayna Jack (25.53), Japan’s Rikako Ikee (25.66), Australia’s Chelsea Gillett (25.96) and USA’s Stanzi Moseley (25.95) nearly had a clean A final without anyone relegated due to the two-per-country rule, but USA’s Katrina Konopka was pushed to the B final with an eighth-place 25.97.  China’s Zheng Yao will replace her with a ninth-place 26.18.

Women’s 200 breast

Japan’s Runa Imai cruised through prelims with a 2:26.52 for the top seed.  She heads into today with a 2:24.00 seed time, that is well under Kierra Smith’s meet record of 2:25.78 from 2012.  There’s little doubt that meet record is in jeopardy, and she may even challenge the World Junior Record of 2:23.12 set by Viktoriya Solnceva at the World Juniors last summer.

Imai’s teammate Manami Chida placed second in 2:28.33 with USA’s Lilly King (2:31.14) and Emily Kopas (2:31.79) qualifying third and fourth.

Canada’s Kelsey Wog (2:32.30) and Genevieve Robertson (2:33.97) earned fifth and sixth, while Mexico’s Maria Jimenez (2:37.83) and Australia’s Abbey Harkin (2:39.70) gave the session its first clean top eight, that wasn’t marred by the two-per-country rule.
