prelims, but USA&#8217;s Matt Grevers got there first with a 52.91 in the second heat. That performance wiped out the Australian All-Comers record of 52.98 set by Aaron Peirsol of the USA back in 2007, and beat Peirsol&#8217;s meet record of 53.31 set back in 2010. Grevers is doing everything he can to wipe 2010 out of his mind. \u00a0In 2010, he missed making the Pan Pacs and Worlds team, and had to hold on until the 2012 London Olympics for his most explosive swims of the quad. \u00a0This year, he made the Pan Pac team and did not mess around this morning.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h2>Comparative Splits:<\/h2>\n<pre><b>                      === Preliminaries ===                       <\/b>\r\n \r\n  1 GREVERS, MATT    29 UNITED STATES       52.75      52.91A  946  \r\n    r:+0.69  25.93        52.91 (26.98)\r\n  2 MURPHY, RYAN     19 UNITED STATES       53.21      53.24P  928  \r\n    r:+0.58  25.80        53.24 (27.44)\r\n  3 IRIE, RYOSUKE    24 JAPAN               52.57      53.29P  925  \r\n    r:+0.56  26.06        53.29 (27.23)<\/pre>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Meanwhile, USA&#8217;s Ryan Murphy powered his way to second with a time of 53.24 with Japan&#8217;s Ryosuke Irie earning third in 53.29. \u00a0Irie has the fastest time in the field this year with a second-ranked 52.57 from Japanese Nationals, but will have his work cut out for him tonight.<\/p>\n<p>Australia&#8217;s Mitch Larkin (4th, 53.49), Japan&#8217;s Junya Koga (6th, 54.30), Australia&#8217;s Ben Treffers (7th, 54.34), Brazil&#8217;s Thiago Pereira (9th, 54.43) and Brazil&#8217;s Guilhermo Guido (11th, 54.50) will also compete in the A final.<\/p>\n<p>B finalists are USA&#8217;s David Plummer (5th, 53.82), Australia&#8217;s Josh Beaver (8th (54.40), Canada&#8217;s Russell Wood (13th, 55.15), Brazil&#8217;s Fabio Santi (14th, 55.16), New Zealand&#8217;s Corey Main (15th, 55.36), South Africa&#8217;s Richard Ellis (16th, 55.59), Japan&#8217;s Haya Matsubara (17th, 55.82) and Venezuela&#8217;s Albert Subirats (18th, 55.95).<\/p>\n<p>For the first time in three editions, someone else other than Peirsol will win the event as the retired Peirsol won in 2002 (54.22), 2006 (53.32) and 2010 (53.31). \u00a0Koga took second in 2010 in 53.63, while Ashley Delaney of Australia placed third in 53.67.<\/p>\n<h1>Women&#8217;s 800 free<\/h1>\n<div id=\"attachment_105200\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/pan-pacific-championships-day-one-prelims-live-recap\/becca-mann-podium-summer-nationals-2014-2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-105200\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-105200\" data-attachment-id=\"105200\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/pan-pacific-championships-matt-grevers-all-comer-pan-pacs-record-tops-day-1-prelims\/becca-mann-podium-summer-nationals-2014-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/becca-mann-podium-summer-nationals-20141.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2400,1600\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;5.6&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Griffin Scott&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS REBEL T5i&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1407522322&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;163&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;250&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.003125&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"becca-mann-podium-summer-nationals-2014\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: Griffin Scott&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/becca-mann-podium-summer-nationals-20141-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/becca-mann-podium-summer-nationals-20141-1024x682.jpg\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-105200\" src=\"http:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/becca-mann-podium-summer-nationals-20141-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"Photo Courtesy: Griffin Scott\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-105200\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy: Griffin Scott<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Team USA&#8217;s open water swimmers got the job done during timed final heats this afternoon as Becca Mann (8:22.45) and Haley Anderson (8:30.87) turned in the top two times to beat in the fastest heat tonight. \u00a0Mann rocketed to sixth in the world rankings with that sterling swim, while Anderson moved to just outside the top 20 in the world.
