NBAC’s Lotte Friis charged her way to the finish to win the women’s 400-meter free at the Arena Pro Swim Series Santa Clara.

Friis, who is still considering exactly where she will end up after Bob Bowman left NBAC to Arizona State, won the finale in a time of 4:07.17. That’s still a bit off the world top 10 of 4:05.86 held by Cao Yue, but was enough to claim the first-place check tonight.

West Vancouver’s Emily Overholt placed second tonight in 4:07.93, while NBAC’s Cierra Runge checked in with a third-place time of 4:08.38.

Completing a difficult triple, Katinka Hosszu wound up taking fourth in 4:08.77 after winning the 200 fly and 100 back earlier in the evening.

Badger’s Lindsay Vrooman (4:10.73), NBAC’s Becca Mann (4:11.07), Club Wolverine’s Gillian Ryan (4:11.46), Minnesota’s Kiera Janzen (4:13.02) and NBAC’s Sierra Schmidt (4:13.19) comprised the rest of the championship heat.

Gator’s Andreina Pinto edged Granite Gators’ Kennedy Goss, 4:13.83 to 4:13.85, in an incredibly close B final.
