Women’s 200 fly
SwimMAC’s Cammile Adams dominated the women’s 200-meter fly at the 2016 Arena Pro Swim Series Austin.
Adams clocked a top time of 2:08.21 for the win. That’s well off her best time in January ever – a 2:06.76 from this meet back in 2012 that also stands as the top 200 fly ever in the month of January.
HPCO’s Audrey Lacroix turned in a second-place time of 2:09.90, while NCAP’s Cassidy Bayer clocked a third-place 2:10.14.
Kentucky’s Christina Bechtel (2:10.29), Chattahoochee Gold’s Lauren Case (2:10.94), Texas A&M’s Sarah Gibson (2:11.67), Razorback’s Taylor Pike (2:12.47) and Dakota Luther (2:13.22) closed out the rest of the championship eight.
Between Lacroix (32) and Bayer, Pike and Luther (all 16), there was a 16-year-age gap represented in the finale.
Noelle Tarazona, swimming unattached, picked up the B final win in 2:12.34. SoFlo’s Claire Donahue turned in a 2:14.28 to place second, while NCAP’s Kaitlin Pawlowicz claimed third in 2:14.47.

Women’s 100 back
Hungary’s Katinka Hosszu won the women’s 100-meter back at the 2016 Arena Pro Swim Series Austin.
Hosszu posted a 59.91 for the win, while Colorado Stars’ Missy Franklin nearly caught her down the stretch with a blazing 30.50 final half with a 1:00.03 for second.
California’s Kathleen Baker, the 50-meter leader with a 29.01, took third overall in 1:00.04.

That’s a personal best for DiRado with her first sub-1:01 swim.
Swimming in a surprisingly loaded B final, Sweden’s Sarah Sjostrom powered her way to a 1:00.49 to win the consolation heat. California’s Natalie Coughlin took second in 1:00.61 with California’s Amy Bilquist snaring third in 1:01.02.

Men’s 100 back
Following an equipment malfunction delay, Tucson Ford’s Matt Grevers stretched his way to victory in the men’s 100-meter back at the 2016 Arena Pro Swim Series Austin.
Grevers, who has the advantage of being 6-8, touched out the rest of the field in a time of 53.35.
That’s just off the top January time ever set by Ryosuke Irie with a 53.15 from the BHP Aquatic Super Series, and just off Grevers’ January career best of 52.37 from this meet last year.
Ryan Murphy, who won the 200 back earlier this weekend, took second in 53.46, while NYAC’s David Plummer placed third in 53.50.
Club Wolverine’s Junya Koga (53.97), NYAC’s Arkady Vyatchanin (54.33), SwimMAC’s Tyler Clary (55.10), St. Thomas’ Rex Tullius (55.57) and N.C. State’s Hennessey Stuart (55.75) finished fourth through eighth.
Jacob Pebley posted a 55.01 to win the B final. Club Wolverine’s Bobby Hurley finished second in 55.69 with Eugene Godsoe placing third in 55.79.

Women’s 200 IM
Hungary’s Katinka Hosszu doubled up with a win in the women’s 200-meter IM at the 2016 Arena Pro Swim Series Austin.
Hosszu posted a winning time of 2:10.69, which would have ranked her ninth in the world last year if not for her world-record setting time of 2:06.12.
Hosszu still missed the January record for the 200 IM of 2:09.67 set by Ye Shiwen at the 2013 BHP Super Series event.
Saint Petersburg’s Melanie Margalis closed fast with a second-place time of 2:12.67, while Aggie’s Sarah Henry earned third in 2:12.77.
SwimMAC’s Kirsty Coventry (2:12.86), Texas A&M’s Sydney Pickrem (2:14.04), Texas’ Madisyn Cox (2:14.05), California’s Caitlin Leverenz (2:14.27) and Great Britain’s Georgia Coates (2:15.50) also competed in the finale.
Lakeside’s Brooke Forde topped the B final in a time of 2:15.04. California’s Celina Li (2:15.50) and Kelly Naze (2:15.72) placed second and third.

Men’s 200 IM
NBAC’s Michael Phelps scorched the pool with yet another January career best with a win in the men’s 200-meter IM at the 2016 Arena Pro Swim Series Austin.
Phelps, who slipped by SwimMAC’s Ryan Lochte down the last 50, put up a 1:58.00 for the win.
That swim broke Phelps’ January best of 1:58.52 from this meet back in 2012.
Lochte, meanwhile, cranked out a 1:58.43 to lower his own January career best. Lochte previously had a 1:58.57 at the 2015 BHP Aquatic Super Series.
That’s Phelps first win against Lochte in a 200 IM since the 2012 London Olympics.
Josh Prenot captured another podium with a third-place time of 1:59.94.
Gator’s Dan Wallace (2:00.90), Gator’s Eduardo Solaeche (2:02.18), Gator’s Niki Denisyako (2:03.58), Andrew Seliskar (2:03.92) and Wisconsin’s Michael Weiss (2:04.59) also competed in the A final.
NBAC’s Chase Kalisz placed first in the B final with a time of 2:01.05. Bernal’s Gator’s Mohamed Hussein finished second in 2:03.49 with Luca Dioli taking third in 2:03.71.

Women’s 800 free
NCAP’s Katie Ledecky destroyed her women’s 800-meter free world record at the 2016 Arena Pro Swim Series Austin.
Ledecky, who was super emotional after the swim, unleashed a ridiculously fast time of 8:06.68 for the win. That swim downed her previous world record of 8:07.39 set last summer at the 2015 World Championships.
No one has come even close to Ledecky all time as Rebecca Adlington previously owned the world record with an 8:14.10 from the 2008 Beijing Olympics. That’s more than six seconds behind Ledecky’s new world record.

Incidentally, that is also a U.S. Open record, breaking her own mark of 8:11.00 set in a meet in Shenandoah, Texas back in 2014.
Ledecky now owns the top eight swims and nine of the top 10.
