Women’s 400 IM

Gator’s Elizabeth Beisel put up an in-season best with a swim of 4:00.32 in the distance medley. That swim just cleared her 4:00.55 from the 2013 Ohio State Invitational, and put her in line to put up some sizzling times this December.

Stanford’s Maya DiRado touched well behind with a second-place time of 4:02.63, while California’s Caitlin Leverenz finished third in 4:03.81.

Sisters Brooke Zeiger (4:09.42) and Liz Zeiger (4:13.18) finished back-to-back in fourth and fifth.

Ruby Martin (4:15.41), Kay Sargent (4:16.95) and Breanne Siwicki (4:18.73) also swam in the A final.

Gabrielle Kopenski topped the B final in 4:16.11 with Frisco teammate Destiny Nelson placing second in 4:17.28.

Sam Harding (4:18.73), Erin Earley (4:18.97), Caroline Theil (4:19.43), Morgan Rosas (4:20.01), Nora Deleske (4:20.06) and Dannie Dilsaver (4:21.34) also vied for the consolation win.

Jumping ahead a bit …
What is the Masters 40-44 record for Men’s 50 yd Free? Brian Jacobson was :20.71 this morning. Seems pretty good.
