Women’s 400 IM
Hungary’s Katinka Hosszu put up an easy speed win in the women’s 400-meter IM at the 2016 Arena Pro Swim Series Austin.
Hosszu turned in a time of 4:36.27. That’s only a second drop after prelims. It was expected that she would challenge the record for the fastest time in January ever currently held by Aimee Willmott with a 4:33.64 from the 2014 Speedo Cup.
That’s Hosszu’s first paycheck of the meet following a stunning pair of podium misses on day one.
NBAC’s Becca Mann turned in a swift second-place swim of 4:39.03 with Aggie’s Sarah Henry taking third overall in 4:40.92.
SwimMAC’s Cammile Adams took fourth in 4:4.4105 with Texas’ Madisyn Cox placing fifth in 4:43.46.
California’s Caitlin Leverenz (4:43.54), BlueFish’s Elizabeth Beisel (4:44.02) and Texas A&M’s Sydney Pickrem (4:45.34) also swam in the A final.
Queens’ Patricia Castro Ortega won the B final in a time of 4:45.34. NCAP’s Cassidy Bayer placed second in 4:47.88 with Nitro’s Regan Barney touching third in 4:48.99.

Men’s 400 IM
SwimMAC’s Ryan Lochte dropped six seconds from his prelim swim to capture the men’s 400-meter IM at the 2016 Arena Pro Swim Series Austin.
Lochte smoked the rest of the field with a top time of 4:12.66. That swim would have ranked him eighth in the world last year, and third among Americans behind Chase Kalisz (4:10.05) and Tyler Clary (4:11.71).
Kalisz, meanwhile, picked up silver tonight in a time of 4:14.64, while Josh Prenot placed third in 4:15.07. Prenot won the 200 breast last night, so this is his second podium paycheck.
Clary (4:18.12), Gator’s Dan Wallace (4:18.37), Nitro’s Sean Grieshop (4:21.24), Andrew Seliskar (4:21.90) and Ous Mellouli (4:23.51) also competed in the finale.
South Africa’s Michael Meyer topped the B final in 4:22.17. Gator’s Sebastien Rousseau finished second in 4:25.45 with N.C. State’s Christian McCurdy claiming third in 4:25.52.

Women’s 200 free
NCAP’s Katie Ledecky just missed clocking a U.S. Open record in the women’s 200-meter free at the 2016 Arena Pro Swim Series Austin as she smoked Sweden’s Sarah Sjostrom in the finale.
Ledecky clocked a personal best time of 1:54.43, just missing Allison Schmitt’s U.S. Open record of 1:54.40 set during the 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials.
Ledecky’s time would have ranked her second in the world behind Sjostrom’s top-ranked 1:54.31.
On top of smashing through the 1:55 barrier for the first time by beating her career best of 1:55.16, Ledecky also blasted Schmitt’s record for a January 200 free of 1:55.83 set here in Austin back in 2012.
Ledecky now moves to fourth all time in the event.
All Time 200 Free
[table “” not found /]Sjostrom had to settle for a silver-winning time of 1:56.14 after nailing a pair of U.S. Open records last night.
Colorado Stars’ Missy Franklin posted an easy-speed time of 1:57.49 for third.
Saint Petersburg’s Melanie Margalis (1:58.01), Virginia’s Leah Smith (1:58.32), Aggie’s Sarah Henry (2:00.34), Mission Viejo’s Stephanie Peacock (2:00.84) and Athens Bulldog’s Shannon Vreeland (2:02.26) closed out the top eight.

Women’s 200 back
Stanford’s Maya DiRado put down Hungary’s Katinka Hosszu in the women’s 200-meter back at the 2016 Arena Pro Swim Series Austin.
DiRado used the advantage of being towards the outside lanes to win in 2:08.19. That swim cleared her previous personal best by a tenth, and would have ranked seventh in the world last year.
DiRado’s time came up a bit short of Missy Franklin’s record for a January 200 back of 2:07.31 from 2013.
Hosszu failed to turn on the jets enough to pick up a win down the stretch as she had to take a silver in 2:08.63.
Franklin, meanwhile, powered by California’s Kathleen Baker with a third-place time of 2:09.21.
Baker, who had been up with the leaders at the 150-meter mark, faded to fourth in 2:09.36.
Oakville’s Dominique Bouchard (2:09.70), SwimMAC’s Kirsty Coventry (2:10.05), Texas’ Quinn Carrozza (2:12.79) and Cascade’s Brooklynn Snodgrass (2:13.35) also competed in the championship heat.
Texas A&M’s Lisa Bratton claimed the B final in 2:11.90. Nashville’s Alex Walsh, just 14, took second in 2:12.38. Great Britain’s Jessica Fullalove picked up third in 2:12.56.
