Mission Viejo’s Amanda Kendall is on a bit of a comeback trail as she is 26-years-old and swimming faster than ever. The 2011 Pan American Games gold medalist has not made an international team since that meet and has put herself in serious talks of making the 2018 Pan Pacs team this summer in Tokyo. Kendall won the 100 fly on Thursday night in Austin with a 58.29 to just hold off China’s Zhang Yufei (58.39).

Kendall is a member of Lenny Krayzelburg‘s swim squad as Moffitt represents Natalie Coughlin and Gibson represents Kaitlin Sandeno. Regan Smith is also on Jason Lezak‘s team.

Rebecca Smith (58.72), Alys Thomas (59.09), Hellen Moffitt (59.16), Regan Smith (59.20), Sarah Gibson (59.65) and Lauren Case (59.65) also competed in the championship final.
