NBAC’s Lotte Friis collected the women’s 800-meter freestyle at the 2016 Arena Pro Swim Series Orlando.
Friis hit the wall in a time of 8:29.81. That swim is just a few seconds off her fourth-ranked season best of 8:27.23 from the Austin stop of the Arena Pro Swim Series.
This was a rare 800 free with Katie Ledecky not competing in the event as she’s focused her efforts on much shorter distances for a change-up this week.
Badger’s Lindsay Vrooman finished second overall in 8:30.98. That vaulted her to seventh in the world rankings.
Gator’s Andreina Pinto Perez placed third overall in a time of 8:31.64 to move up to 10th in the world.
Triangle’s Ashley Twichell (8:36.45), NBAC’s Cierra Runge (8:37.84), Chile’s Kristel Kobrich (8:40.45), Vietnam’s Vien Nguyen (8:44.56) and Argentina’s Delfina Pignatiello (8:47.74) rounded out the top eight in the timed final event.
