In an incredibly exciting finale, USA’s Jessica Hardy simply had too much in the tank to hold off a hard-charging Kanako Watanabe of Japan for gold, 1:06.74 to 1:06.78. \u00a0Hardy went out fast as she usually does with a 30.96, then withstood Watanabe’s 35.01 coming home. \u00a0Both swimmers have been faster this year with Hardy actually securing a bit of an upset. \u00a0Watanabe is ranked second in the world with a 1:05.88 from the Japan Open, while Hardy posted a 1:06.51 at U.S. Nationals.<\/p>\n
That’s Team USA’s fourth win in a row in the event, with the fourth different winner as Amanda Beard (2002), Tara Kirk (2006) and Rebecca Soni (2010) are the previous U.S. winners dating back to Pennie Heyns’ 1999 win for South Africa.<\/p>\n
USA’s Breeja Larson gave the U.S. a 1-3 in the event with a third-place 1:06.99, just off her 1:06.73 from U.S. Nationals.<\/p>\n
Australia’s Lorna Tonks (1:07.41), Australia’s Taylor McKeown (1:07.55), Japan’s Satomi Suzuki (1:07.99), Canada’s Kierra Smith (1:08.49) and Canada’s Martha McCabe (1:08.96) wrapped up the rest of the championship heat.<\/p>\n

Japan’s Yasuhiro Koseki clipped Brazil’s Felipe da Silva, 59.62 to 59.82, for gold in the finale. \u00a0That’s a season best for both men as Koseki moved up to seventh in the world from a 59.91, while da Silva improved upon his own 59.91.<\/p>\n
The win kept the title in Japanese hands after breaststroke legend Kosuke Kitajima won the title back in 2010.<\/p>\n
New Zealand’s Gkenn Snyders (1:00.18), USA’s Nic Fink (1:00.24), Canada’s Richard Funk (1:00.36), Australia’s Jake Packard (1:00.54) and Japan’s Naoya Tomita (1:01.08) completed the A final with legal swims.<\/p>\n
You do not, however, want to be Kevin Cordes of the U.S. right now. \u00a0In yet another high profile meet, he has drawn a breaststroke disqualification. \u00a0A year after being part of a relay transition disqualification with Matt Grevers in the 400 medley relay at the 2013 World Championships, Cordes was disqualified tonight in the 100.<\/p>\n
Cordes is now on the outside looking in for the 2015 Worlds roster spot after that disqualification.<\/p>\n
Cordes’ cap slipped off at the start, and his goggles filled up with water. \u00a0He wound up trying to take them off during the turn as his international meet bad luck continued.<\/p>\nA Final Results<\/h1>\n  1 KOSEKI, YASUHIR  22 JAPAN             1:00.20      59.62   942  \r\n    r:+0.67  27.91        59.62 (31.71)\r\n  2 SILVA, FELIPE F  27 BRAZIL              59.92      59.82   933  \r\n    r:+0.71  27.82        59.82 (32.00)\r\n  3 SNYDERS, GLENN   27 NEW ZEALAND       1:00.41    1:00.18   916  \r\n    r:+0.64  27.70      1:00.18 (32.48)\r\n  4 FINK, NICOLAS    21 UNITED STATES     1:00.72    1:00.24   913  \r\n    r:+0.73  28.33      1:00.24 (31.91)\r\n  5 FUNK, RICHARD    21 CANADA            1:00.82    1:00.36   908  \r\n    r:+0.61  28.52      1:00.36 (31.84)\r\n  6 PACKARD, JAKE    20 AUSTRALIA         1:00.44    1:00.54   900  \r\n    r:+0.70  28.07      1:00.54 (32.47)\r\n  7 TOMITA, NAOYA    25 JAPAN             1:01.11    1:01.08   876  \r\n    r:+0.61  28.42      1:01.08 (32.66)\r\n -- CORDES, KEVIN    21 UNITED STATES       59.70         DQ        \r\n    r:+0.75  28.21           DQ (31.98)<\/pre>\nUSA’s Cody Miller could not replicate his sub-1:00 swim from Nationals, where he posted a 59.91, but he still managed to take the B final win with a 1:00.76 in his first major international night swim. \u00a0Brazil’s Joao Gomes took second in 1:00.99 with Japan’s Hiromasa Sakimoto finishing third in 1:01.54.<\/p>\n

The Campbell sisters dominated the finale as Cate (52.72) and Bronte (53.45) went 1-2 in the 100-meter free tonight. \u00a0Cate was unable to match her Australian All-Comers and Pan Pacs Championship mark of 52.62 from prelims, but had more than enough to chart a title-winning effort this evening.<\/p>\n
That’s the first time since 1989 that an American has not won the title. \u00a0In fact, 1989 is the only time someone from America has not won the 100 with Zhuang of China taking that title in 55.68. \u00a0This is the first time an Australian has won the event in the history of Pan Pacs.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, USA’s Simone Manuel edged teammate Missy Franklin at the wall for third, 53.71 to 53.87. \u00a0Both have been faster this year with Manuel (53.60) and Franklin (53.43) both turning in better times at Nationals.<\/p>\n

In a bit of a stunner, Australia’s Cameron McEvoy crushed the field in the men’s 100-meter free for the win in 47.82. \u00a0That performance lowered Nathan Adrian’s Pan Pacific Championship record of 48.05 from prelims, and delivered the sprint title back to Australia for the first time since Michael Klim (1997, 1999) and Ian Thorpe (2002) won the award three straight years for the Aussies.<\/p>\n
McEvoy was unable to duplicate his second-ranked season best of 47.65 from Australian Nationals, but he had more than enough to win tonight as USA’s Nathan Adrian was unable to put together a successful title defense as he wound up with silver in 48.30.<\/p>\n

USA’s Elizabeth Beisel became the first person to defend the women’s 400-meter IM Pan Pacs title since Janet Evans won in 1987 and 1989 as Beisel popped a sterling 4:31.99 tonight for the win. \u00a0The 2010 winner improved her winning time then by three seconds to move to fourth in the world this year. \u00a0Only Ye Shiwen (4:30.84), Katinka Hosszu (4:31.03) and Hannah Miley (4:31.76) have been faster this year.<\/p>\n
Beisel was swimming against the clock as teammate Maya DiRado took a distant second in 4:35.37. \u00a0That performance still ranks the American seventh in the world, but demonstrates just how much of a gap there is to the upper echelon of the elite. \u00a0Australia’s Keryn McMaster claimed the other medal on offer with a bronze-winning 4:38.84.<\/p>\n

The early MVP of the meet thus far is easily USA’s Katie Ledecky. \u00a0After a pair of powerful performances last night to win the 200 and 800-meter freestyle golds, including a near world record in the 800, Ledecky overcame a full second deficit to deliver Team USA the women’s 800-meter freestyle relay gold as the vaunted anchor leg.<\/p>\n
Entering the water behind Australia, 5:50.84 to 5:52.04, Ledecky blitzed the water with a 1:54.36. \u00a0It might not be the top 200 free split of the year with Sarah Sjostrom uncorking a 1:53 for Sweden over in Europe, but it was more than enough for a USA victory from the team of Shannon Vreeland, Missy Franklin, Leah Smith and Ledecky as the foursome clocked a 7:46.40.<\/p>\n
That effort smashed the previous Pan Pacs record of 7:51.21 set by the Americans in 2010. It also serves as the Australian All-Comers record, beating a U.S. mark of 7:50.09 from the 2007 World Championships.<\/p>\n
Australia’s Bronte Barratt, Emma McKeon, Brittany Elmslie and Melanie Schlanger could not overcome Ledecky’s incredible speed, and settled for silver with a 7:47.47, while Canada’s Brittany MacLean, Samantha Cheverton, Alyson Ackman and Emily Overholt took bronze in 7:58.03.<\/p>\n
Japan (8:00.83), New Zealand (8:04.58) and Hong Kong (8:23.53) also swam in the championship heat.<\/p>\nResults<\/h2>\n  1 UNITED STATES  'A'            7:45.14    7:46.40!  972  \r\n     1) VREELAND, SHANNON 22          2) r:+0.37 FRANKLIN, MISSY 19   \r\n     3) r:+0.32 SMITH, LEAH 19        4) r:+0.18 LEDECKY, KATIE 17    \r\n    r:+0.76  27.78        57.31 (57.31)\r\n      1:27.75 (1:27.75)   1:57.89 (1:57.89)\r\n        2:24.52 (26.63)     2:53.84 (55.95)\r\n      3:24.03 (1:26.14)   3:54.01 (1:56.12)\r\n        4:21.42 (27.41)     4:51.40 (57.39)\r\n      5:21.77 (1:27.76)   5:52.04 (1:58.03)\r\n        6:18.48 (26.44)     6:47.54 (55.50)\r\n      7:16.95 (1:24.91)   7:46.40 (1:54.36)\r\n  2 AUSTRALIA  'A'                7:49.90    7:47.47.  965  \r\n     1) BARRATT, BRONTE 25            2) r:+0.86 MCKEON, EMMA 20      \r\n     3) r:+0.19 ELMSLIE, BRITTANY 20  4) r:+0.00 SCHLANGER, MELANIE 27\r\n    r:+0.65  27.83        57.56 (57.56)\r\n      1:27.58 (1:27.58)   1:58.07 (1:58.07)\r\n        2:24.90 (26.83)     2:54.32 (56.25)\r\n      3:24.22 (1:26.15)   3:53.92 (1:55.85)\r\n        4:21.15 (27.23)     4:50.73 (56.81)\r\n      5:20.82 (1:26.90)   5:50.84 (1:56.92)\r\n        6:17.79 (26.95)     6:47.64 (56.80)\r\n      7:17.65 (1:26.81)   7:47.47 (1:56.63)\r\n  3 CANADA  'A'                   7:55.48    7:58.03   903  \r\n     1) MACLEAN, BRITTANY 20          2) r:+0.25 CHEVERTON, SAMNTHA 26\r\n     3) r:+0.28 ACKMAN, ALYSON 21     4) r:+0.37 OVERHOLT, EMILY 16   \r\n    r:+0.72  27.97        57.63 (57.63)\r\n      1:27.87 (1:27.87)   1:57.67 (1:57.67)\r\n        2:25.63 (27.96)     2:55.83 (58.16)\r\n      3:26.07 (1:28.40)   3:56.37 (1:58.70)\r\n        4:24.12 (27.75)     4:54.29 (57.92)\r\n      5:25.62 (1:29.25)   5:56.51 (2:00.14)\r\n        6:24.65 (28.14)     6:55.79 (59.28)\r\n      7:27.19 (1:30.68)   7:58.03 (2:01.52)\r\n  4 JAPAN  'A'                    7:52.42    8:00.83   887  \r\n     1) IGARASHI, CHIHIRO 19          2) r:+0.31 MIYAMOTO, YASUKO 19  \r\n     3) r:+0.12 TAKANO, AYA 20        4) r:+0.17 YAMAGUCHI, MISAKI 24 \r\n    r:+0.67  28.16        58.54 (58.54)\r\n      1:29.16 (1:29.16)   1:59.71 (1:59.71)\r\n        2:27.53 (27.82)     2:57.71 (58.00)\r\n      3:28.64 (1:28.93)   3:59.82 (2:00.11)\r\n        4:27.58 (27.76)     4:58.24 (58.42)\r\n      5:29.16 (1:29.34)   6:00.05 (2:00.23)\r\n        6:27.54 (27.49)     6:58.41 (58.36)\r\n      7:29.84 (1:29.79)   8:00.83 (2:00.78)\r\n  5 NEW ZEALAND  'A'              7:57.47    8:04.58   867  \r\n     1) BOYLE, LAUREN 26              2) r:+0.15 LUCIE-SMITH, SNTHA 22\r\n     3) r:+0.08 LEE, SAMANTHA 22      4) r:+0.12 ROBINSON, EMMA 19    \r\n    r:+0.75  28.48        58.98 (58.98)\r\n      1:29.41 (1:29.41)   1:59.51 (1:59.51)\r\n        2:27.44 (27.93)     2:58.11 (58.60)\r\n      3:29.34 (1:29.83)   4:00.41 (2:00.90)\r\n        4:28.30 (27.89)     4:59.07 (58.66)\r\n      5:30.71 (1:30.30)   6:02.75 (2:02.34)\r\n        6:30.65 (27.90)     7:01.65 (58.90)\r\n      7:33.20 (1:30.45)   8:04.58 (2:01.83)\r\n  6 HONG KONG  'A'                8:04.86    8:23.53   772  \r\n     1) CHAN, KIN LOK 20              2) r:+0.16 CHENG, CAMILLE 21    \r\n     3) r:+0.22 LAU, CLAUDIA 21       4) r:+0.43 SZE, HANG YU 26      \r\n    r:+0.73  28.69    1:01.24 (1:01.24)\r\n      1:34.78 (1:34.78)   2:07.89 (2:07.89)\r\n        2:35.38 (27.49)     3:06.13 (58.24)\r\n      3:37.97 (1:30.08)   4:09.74 (2:01.85)\r\n        4:38.03 (28.29)   5:10.70 (1:00.96)\r\n      5:44.68 (1:34.94)   6:18.60 (2:08.86)\r\n        6:46.19 (27.59)     7:17.82 (59.22)\r\n      7:51.04 (1:32.44)   8:23.53 (2:04.93)<\/pre>\nMen’s 800 free relay<\/h1>\n<\/a>Photo Courtesy: Griffin Scott<\/p><\/div>\n
For the second straight relay tonight, it took a special effort by an American anchor to deliver Team USA the gold. \u00a0After Katie Ledecky made up more than a second to win the 800 free relay, Matt McLean gave training partner Michael Phelps his first international gold since returning from his 18-month retirement.<\/p>\n
