IRVINE, California, August 9.<\/p>\n

California\u2019s Rachel Bootsma, the American record holder with a 27.68, reminded everyone just who the fastest female sprint backstroker in American is as she clocked a 28.35. That time locked her a spot on the 2015 Worlds roster as she moved to 17th in the world. Bootsma was so close to the lane line that she and Olivia Smoliga high-fived each other under the flags.<\/p>\n

Fresno\u2019s Cheyenne Coffman, who continued her march to national prominence after an incredible NAIA career, took second in 28.42. Smoliga, meanwhile, took third in 28.49.<\/p>\n

Club Wolverine\u2019s Ali Deloof (28.70), California\u2019s Elizabeth Pelton (28.85), Missouri\u2019s Hannah Stevens (29.00), Cavalier\u2019s Courtney Bartholomew (29.00) and Longhorn\u2019s Sarah Denninghoff (29.01) also competed in the A final.<\/p>\n

Aquakids\u2019 Clara Smiddy hit the wall in 28.95 to win the B final. SwimMAC\u2019s Madison Kennedy checked in with a second-place 29.15, while Tiger\u2019s Caley Oquist earned third in 29.26.<\/p>\n

Byron Center\u2019s Taylor Garcia won the C final in 29.35 with Schroeder Y\u2019s Ashlyn Schoof placing second in 29.40. SoCal\u2019s Emily Eastin took third in 29.44.<\/p>\n
