Master Spas<\/a>!<\/i><\/p>\nIRVINE, California, August 11.<\/p>\n
First Colony\u2019s Simone Manuel crushed the final field of the splash-and-dash with a winning time of 24.56. \u00a0That time pushed her to ninth in the world, and demolished the 17-18 U.S. National Age Group record of 24.80 set by Abbey Weitzeil during a time trial earlier this week. \u00a0Manuel also had a previous lifetime best of 24.80 as she smashed through that time as well.<\/p>\n
Wisconsin\u2019s Ivy Martin put up a sterling time of 24.72 for second, just off her 11th ranked season best of 24.62 from this morning. \u00a0But, her time tonight was good enough to secure a spot on the Pan Pacific Championships roster.<\/p>\n
Manuel\u2019s teammate Madeline Locus took third in 24:81 with SwimMAC\u2019s Madison Kennedy placing fourth in 24.83. \u00a0Weitzeil wound up fifth in 24.91.<\/p>\n
California\u2019s Natalie Coughlin missed out on her fifth Pan Pacific Championships squad. \u00a0She previously made the team in 1999, 2002, 2006 and 2010, and was looking to tie Lea Maurer (1989, 1991, 1993, 1995, 1997) for five times on the roster. \u00a0Maurer managed her record when the meet was held every two years.<\/p>\n
Tucson Ford\u2019s Margo Geer (25.06) and Stanford\u2019s Maddy Schaefer (25.07) finished seventh and eighth.<\/p>\n
SwimMAC\u2019s Katie Meili touched out Tennessee\u2019s Faith Johnson, 25.30 to 25.33, in the B final. \u00a0Fresno\u2019s Cheyenne Coffman placed third in 25.48.<\/p>\n
Mission Viejo\u2019s Katie McLaughlin clipped Y-Sparta\u2019s Katrina Konopka, 25.56 to 25.66, in the C final of the sprint free. \u00a0Bethany Galat, fresh off a 200 IM C final win, took third in 25.73.<\/p>\n
