After the retirement of Maya Dirado, the United States has been looking for a successor in the IM’s on the women’s side and Madisyn Cox proved to be capable of being the IM’r of the future after her 4:39.07 on Saturday night in Santa Clara. Cox is now the second fastest American this year in the event behind Katie Ledecky (4:38.16). Cox used her back half to pull away from veteran Elizabeth Beisel (4:40.00) and Stanford’s Allie Szekely (4:41.10). This was Beisel’s first big meet since finishing sixth in Rio last summer.

Sarah Darcel (4:44.86), Emma Barksdale (4:44.92), Kelly Fertel (4:45.93), Savanna Faulconer (4:49.03), Leah Stevens (4:50.58) and Brooke Zeiger (4:52.32) also swam in the A-Final.
