NBAC’s Lotte Friis nearly cleared her seventh-ranked season best to win the women’s 800-meter free at the Arena Pro Swim Series Santa Clara. In the end, NBAC went 1-2-3-4.
Friis popped a winning time of 8:25.33, just off her top time this year of 8:25.07 from the Charlotte stop of the series.
She’s in a solid spot considering she’s about to head back up to altitude in Colorado Springs before traveling to Europe to prepare for the World Championships in Russia.
NBAC’s Sierra Schmidt, the dancing queen who always dances like no one is watching at the starting blocks during introductions, crushed her lifetime best with a time of 8:28.91. That swim demolished her previous top effort of 8:34.58 from junior nationals last summer. Schmidt jumped to 12th in the world with that swim.
NBAC’s Becca Mann took third in 8:30.02 with Cierra Runge putting in a labored 8:31.55 as she definitely looked to be uncomfortable at the end of the race.
Gator’s Andreina Pinto (8:32.94), Club Wolverine’s Gillian Ryan (8:42.11), Minnesota’s Kiera Janzen (8:42.28), North Carolina’s Madison Homovich (8:49.67) and Olivia Anderson (8:52.31) rounded out the top nine in the timed final.
