Indiana’s Lilly King held the lead at the halfway point in the women’s 200 breast final, and Condors’ Emily Escobedo was in front with 50 meters to go, but Athens Bulldog’s Melanie Margalis had the superior final 50 to take the win.

Margalis’ final time was 2:24.62, nine hundredths ahead of Escobedo (2:24.71). King ended up third in 2:24.95, just three tenths behind the winner. Texas A&M’s Bethany Galat, the World Champs silver medalist in the event, was never in contention, and she ended up fourth in 2:28.16.

Annie Lazor finished fifth in 2:28.70, followed by Stanford’s Allie Szekely (2:30.46), Cardinal’s Emily Weiss (2:31.00) and Kentucky’s Bailey Bonnett (2:32.08).
