hali-flickinger-

Hali Flickinger has been on a roll this year in 2019 as she posted a 2:07.10 on Thursday night at the TYR Pro Swim Series in Des Moines. Flickinger lowered her season best as she was a 2:07.21 at the Knoxville Pro Swim Series. She still has the fastest time in the world as she is ahead of Yui Ohashi from Japan (2:08.78).

Flickinger won the 200 fly in Iowa in Ledecky-esque fashion as she finished ahead of fellow Bulldog Megan Kingsley (2:10.91) and Britain’s Charlotte Atkinson (2:11.34).

Great Britain’s team had three total swimmers in the final tonight with Atkinson, Emily Large (2:11.64) and Keanna MacInnes (2:17.63) placing third, fourth and eighth.

15-year-old Katie Crom placed fifth at 2:14.05. Mary-Sophie Harvey (2:14.07) and Isabella Paez (2:15.58) also placed in the A-Final.
