IRVINE, California, August 3<\/p>\n

Women’s 50 free<\/h1>\n

It wasn\u2019t the\u00a025.00 17-18 national age group record that Abbey Weitzeil posted in a time trial yesterday for the fastest 50 of the meet<\/a>, but Carmel\u2019s Amy Bilquist scorched the A final of the splash-and-dash with a 25.28. \u00a0That made the 16 year old fourth all time in the 15-16 age division, and just missed Missy Franklin\u2019s 25.23 meet record from 2009. \u00a0Weitzeil\u2019s time doesn\u2019t count as it wasn\u2019t in standard competition.<\/p>\n

Lakeside\u2019s Lauren Pitzer, 15, raced her way to second with a sizzling time of 25.68, while Carmel\u2019s Veronica Burchill touched third in 25.71 in what was an exciting finale.<\/p>\n

Y-Sparta\u2019s Katrina Konopka (25.75), Greensboro\u2019s Natalie Labonge (25.82), Bolles\u2019 Kasey Schmidt (25.89), Roadrunner\u2019s Stanzi Moseley (26.01) and City of Mobile\u2019s Ashton Ellzey (26.33) put up the rest of the times in the championship heat.<\/p>\n

Pine Crest\u2019s Marta Ciesla blazed her way to a 25.83 in the B final, while NCAP\u2019s Janet Hu finished second in 25.91. \u00a0Schroeder\u2019s Alexandra Meyers also cleared 26 seconds with a third-place time of 25.98<\/p>\n

San Clemente\u2019s Kaitlyn Albertoli won the C final in 26.07, while Zionsville\u2019s Alex Cleveland took second in 26.10. \u00a0Dynamo\u2019s Caitlin Cooper earned third in 26.17.<\/p>\n
