After getting her feet wet in the women’s 50 fly, Regan Smith was ready to dominate in her marquee event–and she did just that at the 2019 TYR Pro Series in Bloomington.

Dropping a 2:06.47, slightly off her best, Smith manhandled the rest of the field, surging ahead to a climactic victory. Isabelle Stadden was next in line, posting a 2:09.10 to edge out Asia Seidt’s 2:09.99. Taylor Ruck, a favorite in this event, swam a clean race to throw up a 2:10.29, distancing herself from fifth-place Lisa Bratton (2:12.76). MacKenzie Glover chased Bratton to drop a 2:12.90, as Allie Szekely and Sophie Sorenson battled it out in the outer lanes, posting times of 2:13.77 and 2:14.92, respectively.
