Hungary’s Katinka Hosszu won her third title of the meet with a win in the 200-meter fly at the Arena Pro Swim Series Charlotte.

Hosszu raced her way to a season-best time of 2:08.00 to move to eighth in the world rankings. She just missed being just the eighth swimmer to clear 2:08 this year with Madeline Groves leading that group with a 2:05.41 from the Australian Championships.

SwimMAC’s Cammile Adams made a run to try to track down Hosszu, but settled for second with a 2:08.78. Bulldogs’ Hali Flickinger snared third overall in 2:09.07.

SwimMAC’s Kate Mills (2:10.23), NBAC’s Becca Mann (2:10.95), Kentucky’s Christina Bechtel (2:11.52), Cassidy Bayer (2:12.47) and Emma Nunn (2:14.43) also competed in the finale.

Crown Point’s Hannah Kukurugya blasted her in-season best with a 2:12.04 to win the B final. That swim slashed time off her previous 2:13.72 from prelims that was her in-season best.
