After dominating the women’s 400 free last night, Leah Smith added her second win of the weekend in the 400 IM on night three of the 2018 TYR Pro Swim Series in Columbus. Smith got her hand to the wall first in 4:37.64, her fastest in-season time of her career.
Smith’s swim marks the eight-fastest time in the world this year and ranks her second among Americans for the 2017-18 season.
Swimming unattached, Vien Nguyen finished second in 4:38.66 while Longhorn’s Evie Pfeifer took third in 4:41.95.
All McHugh (4:42.39), Kathryn Ackerman (4:46.08), Lilly King (4:46.49), Mariah Denigan (4:46.54) and Lauren Edelman (4:47.66) also competed in the top eight.
Ohio State’s Kristen Romano won the B Final in 4:46.16, fast enough for a new Puerto Rico national record.
