Lindsay Vrooman entered the meet as the top seed in the women’s 400-meter free, and she will remain at the top. After a lackluster 4:12.09 swim this morning, Vrooman busted out a 4:07.88 and moved up six spots to take gold from lane one. She was in an extremely tight duel against Hali Flickinger, who clocked a 4:07.93. They battled back and forth throughout the race until the Indiana University alum Vrooman claimed the victory.

Vrooman: 1:00.28/1:02.72/1:03.12/1:01.76

Flickinger: 1:00.68/1:02.85/1:02.80/1:01.60

Courtney Harnish jumped two spots to claim bronze in 4:08.22. She found herself in close contention with Stephanie Peacock, who fell to fourth in 4:08.50. Sierra Schmidt took fifth with a 4:09.52.

After taking the top spot in prelims, Allison Schmitt fell to sixth with a 4:09.59. She added nearly half of a second from her morning swim and continued to struggle on the final 200 meters. Schmitt’s last two 100 splits ended up being 1:03.30 and 1:02.06. Hannah Cox boldly raced to a 59.47 start, but fell to seventh with a 4:09.61 final time. Yawen Hou finished eighth in 4:10.15.
