Swimming World is streaming the 10-and-under and 11-12 time finals sessions and the 13-and-over finals sessions each day at the Tom Dolan Invitational on the event landing page<\/a>. On-demand race footage will be available after each session there as well.<\/i><\/p>\n COLLEGE PARK – Personal bests were lowered by the truckload in Thursday’s timed finals session to open the Tom Dolan Invitational on the campus of the University of Maryland. Megan Byrnes, representing host club Nation’s Capital Swim Club, led that charge with a big drop in the 1650 freestyle.<\/p>\n Byrnes won the 15 and over division with a 16:01.83, much better than her previous lifetime best of 16:15.29 done at last March’s NCSA junior nationals. That time puts the 16-year0old just outside the top 10 of all-time performers in the 15-16 age group. Ashley Evans holds the 10th spot with a 16:01.28, while Katie Ledecky’s former American record of 15:15.17 is well ahead of the rest of the pack. <\/p>\n Girls open 1650 freestyle fastest heat race video:<\/b>
