Arena Pro Swim Series points leader Elizabeth Beisel turned in a phenomenal breaststroke leg to overtake favorite Katinka Hosszu down the stretch for the 400-meter IM win.<\/p>\n

Beisel hit the wall in 4:36.71 for the win, which would have placed her just outside the top 10 in the world last year. \u00a0She finished last year with a fourth-ranked season best of 4:31.99 at Pan Pacs.<\/p>\n

California’s Caitlin Leverenz, just more than a week out from getting married, checked in with a silver-winning time of 4:38.35 as she also had a strong breaststroke leg.<\/p>\n

Hosszu, who initially led throughout the front half, fell apart in the breaststroke leg and couldn’t recover as she settled for bronze in 4:39.93.<\/p>\n

California’s Josh Prenot followed a similar plan as Elizabeth Beisel as Prenot’s dominant breaststroke told the tale in the men’s 400-meter IM.<\/p>\n
Prenot threw down a 35.81 split to gain his second victory of the meet with a 4:16.08 after taking down the 200-meter breast last night. \u00a0That’s Prenot’s best in-season time ever, clearing his previous top time of 4:18.32 from the Mare Nostrum series last summer.<\/p>\n
SwimMAC’s Tyler Clary and Ryan Lochte rounded out the top three as Clary turned in a 4:16.28 to finish just behind Prenot.<\/p>\n
Lochte, however, claimed third\u00a0in 4:18.68 with NCAP 18-year-old Andrew Seliskar finishing fourth in 4:21.41.<\/p>\n

Swimming World’s World Swimmer of the Year Katie Ledecky tracked down her third gold medal of the meet with an easy-speed victory in the 200-meter free.<\/p>\n
Ledecky hit the wall in 1:56.16, just a second off her scorching time of 1:55.16 from last year at Nationals. \u00a0She nearly cleared her in-season best of 1:55.79 from the 2014 PV Senior Championships last July.<\/p>\n
NYAC’s Megan Romano joined Ledecky under 2:00 with a second-place time of 1:58.99, while Mission Viejo’s Katie McLaughlin snagged third in 1:59.70.<\/p>\n

Conor Dwyer, who recently made the move from NBAC to the Trojan Swim Club, easily won the men’s 200-meter free in 1:47.76.<\/p>\n
That time is less than a second off his in-season best of 1:47.01 from the 2013 Santa Clara Grand Prix stop, and is a nice January time for Dwyer to start off with.<\/p>\n
Club Wolverine’s Bobby Hurley blazed his way to a second-place time of 1:49.59 with Dion Dreesens claiming third in 1:50.04.<\/p>\n

Women’s 200 back<\/h2>\n

In one of the most exciting races of the meet so far, Oakville’s Dominique Bouchard used her patented closing speed to overtake a loaded field in the women’s 200-meter back.<\/p>\n
Bouchard hit the wall in 2:10.02 as she clipped Bluefish’s Elizabeth Beisel. Beisel powered her way to second in 2:10.09 as she needed to put up some huge speed in the final 50 meters. That’s good enough for some more valuable series points.<\/p>\n
Taylor Ruck, the 14-year-old Canadian who trains at Scottsdale Aquatics, had a big lead at the 150 with a 1:36.92, but wound up settling for a huge personal best time of 2:10.22. \u00a0Coming into this meet, her previous best had been a 2:13.05 at the 2014 Summer Junior Nationals. \u00a0 Tonight’s swim would have put her just outside the top 20 in the world last year.<\/p>\n
Hungary’s Katinka Hosszu showed some wear and tear from a heavy schedule the past few months as she faded to sixth in 2:12.70.<\/p>\n

California’s Ryan Murphy held off a hard charging Matt Grevers of Tucson Ford for the men’s 200-meter back victory.<\/p>\n
Murphy hit the wall in 1:56.91 for the win, just a bit more than a second off his seventh-ranked season best of 1:55.73 from a last year. \u00a0That bodes well for the coming season.<\/p>\n
Grevers, meanwhile, tracked down silver with a time of 1:57.43 as he closed in 29.57 to lock down runner-up tonight.<\/p>\n
Murphy’s Cal teammate Jacob Pebley picked up third-place honors in the finale with a time of 1:58.47. Texas’ Jack Conger also cleared 2:00 with a fourth-place 1:59.94.<\/p>\n
