IRVINE, California, August 6.<\/p>\n

SwimMAC\u2019s Cammile Adams chased down her third straight long course national title with a sizzling time of 2:07.12. \u00a0That jumped her up to sixth in the world this year ahead of Jiao Liuyang\u2019s 2:07.28 from the Chinese Nationals Championships, and secured her spot on the Pan Pacific Championships roster to do some more damage. \u00a0Her top time is a 2:06.52 from the 2012 Olympic Trials, and puts her in a spot to take on the Pan Pacs field.<\/p>\n

Mission Viejo 17-year-old Katie McLaughlin put herself in position for that all-important second spot with a 2:08.74 to get ahead of Bulldogs\u2019 Hali Flickinger\u2019s 2:08.77 in the finale. \u00a0McLaughlin moved to 19th in the world with that swim, while Flickinger stands 20th now. \u00a0McLaughlin just missed her best time ever of 2:08.72 from World Juniors last summer, while Flickinger smashed her 2:09.31.<\/p>\n

Stanford\u2019s Maya DiRado, scratched into the championship finale when Elizabeth Beisel decided not to swim it, took fourth in 2:09.76, while SwimMAC\u2019s Kate Mills took fifth in 2:09.88. \u00a0Nova\u2019s Emma Nunn (2:11.13), Flint Y\u2019s Courtney Weaver (2:12.22) and NCAP\u2019s Cassidy Bayer (2:12.30) also competed in the finale.<\/p>\n

Kentucky\u2019s Tina Bechtel moved to another stratosphere in the 200 fly with a B final-winning time of 2:09.67. \u00a0Her previous best had been a time of 2:11.67 from sectionals just last month, and she moved right on past the 2:10 barrier. \u00a0Bruins\u2019 Noelle Tarazona placed second in the event with a 2:10.49 after leading through 150 meters, while Mount Pleasant\u2019s Megan Kingsley took third in 2:11.90.<\/p>\n

Crown Point\u2019s Hannah Kukurugya pulled off a C final victory with a time of 2:10.20. \u00a0That\u2019s a personal best, clearing the 2:10.64 she set during junior nationals here in Irvine just a week ago. \u00a0Tigers\u2019 Kara Kopcso hit the wall in second with a 2:11.06, while Dynamo\u2019s Kylie Stewart finished third in 2:11.40. \u00a0That\u2019s a lifetime best for both with Stewart undercutting 2:12 for the first time in her career.<\/p>\n
