The penultimate night of the 2017 Speedo Junior Nationals featured a new meet record from Daniel Roy from King Aquatic Club in the men’s 200 breast, taking nearly a full second off of Reece Whitley’s meet record. There were also near misses of the meet records from Alex Zettle in the 200 free, Carson Foster in the 100 back and Magnolia Aquatic Club in the 800 free relay.

Other winners on the night were Easop Lee, Zoie Hartman and Isabelle Stadden on Friday night in East Meadow, New York.

Women’s 200 Free

North Baltimore’s Easop Lee came from fifth place to steal the 200 free win from the middle of the pool on Friday night at the 2017 Speedo Junior Nationals in East Meadow, New York. Lee won with a 2:00.08 using the only sub-30 second last 50 in the field. Lee finished ahead of Brea’s Kenisa Liu (2:00.34) and Lakeside’s Lauren Pitzer (2:00.39). Pitzer was the early leader through 150 meters and ended up fading to third.

Enfinity’s Oliva Carter (2:00.67), La Mirada Armada’s Taylor Ault (2:01.08), Pleasanton’s Miranda Heckman (2:01.16), Austin’s Dakota Luther (2:01.18) and Gator’s Isabel Ivey (2:02.47) also swam in the championship final.

Lee finished 20th at the recent World Championships in this event while representing South Korea with a 1:59.38. Liu finished her freshman season at UCLA and Pitzer is also already committed to Stanford.

Ironically, Lucie Nordmann won the B-final with a 2:00.01 and would have won the overall event with that time.

Women’s 800 Free Relay

Magnolia Aquatic Club closed out the penultimate night of action from the 2017 Speedo Junior Nationals narrowly missing the meet record in the women’s 800 free relay. Lucie Nordmann (2:00.78), Monica Gumina (2:03.36), Kaitlynn Sims (2:04.38) and Lille Nordmann (2:02.12) swam an 8:10.64 to just miss the meet record of 8:10.13 held by York YMCA set in 2013.

York’s record with Courtney Harnish, Nicole Price, Emily Ilgenfritz and Meghan Small will live to see another day.

Austin Swim Club finished in second at 8:13.97 with Ella Collins (2:04.14), Diana Dunn (2:02.63), Kendall Shields (2:04.75) and Dakota Luther (2:02.45) in a tight race with SwimMAC Carolina who finished third at 8:15.34 with Sophie Lindner (2:03.94), Olwyn Bartis (2:03.21), Sinclair Larson (2:03.52) and Heidi Lowe (2:04.67).

Other fast splits by swimmers not in the top three were Easop Lee (2:00.82), Lauren Pitzer (2:01.74) and Kristen Romano (2:02.85).

Long Island (8:16.36), Lakeside Aquatic Club (8:17.05), Santa Clara (8:22.86), SwimMAC Carolina B (8:22.95) and North Baltimore (8:23.27) also placed in the top eight.
