SANTA CLARA, California, June 21. IN one of the closest swims of the night, BlueFish’s Elizabeth Beisel raced her way to an epic double as she added the women’s 200-meter back title to her 400 IM victory from earlier in the night.

Beisel raced her way to a 2:09.11 to take sixth in the world after taking fourth in the world in the 400-meter IM earlier in the night at the Arena Grand Prix in Santa Clara. That’s an amazing double tonight for Beisel as she took down a pair of backstroke wonders. California’s Elizabeth Pelton (2:09.73) and Missy Franklin (2:09.86) took second and third. Pelton moved up to 13td in the world, while Franklin missed her 10th-ranked season best of 2:09.57 from the Mel Zajac Canada Cup.
