Jamaica\u2019s Alia Atkinson shocked the crowd with a 1:06.79, while Hannah Miley provided some fireworks of her own with a 4:36.74 in the 400 IM. On the men\u2019s side, the 200 butterfly top four was taken by foreigners, led by a 1:57.32 by Denmark\u2019s Viktor Bromer. Former Russian Arkady Vyatchanin won the 200 back ahead of Russian up-and-comer Grigory Tarasevich, while Brazil\u2019s Joao De Lucca won the 100 and 200 freestyles. Americans still did well. Cody Miller swam the world\u2019s fastest time in the 200 breast with a 2:10.28 and Ryan Lochte showed up for just the 200 IM and won that with a 2:00.52. The series picks up in April in Mesa, where Michael Phelps will mark his return to competition and many collegiate swimmers will kick their long course season into gear.<\/p>\n<h2>The Week That Was #3: Vladimir Dyatchin\u2019s two-year ban prompts retirement announcement<\/h2>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_59132\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/vladimir-dyatchin-open-water.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-59132\" data-attachment-id=\"59132\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/vladimir-dyatchin-russias-open-water-star-suspended-for-positive-drug-test\/vladimir-dyatchin-open-water\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/vladimir-dyatchin-open-water.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,852\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"vladimir-dyatchin-open-water\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;vladimir-dyatchin-open-water&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: Openwaterpedia&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/vladimir-dyatchin-open-water-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/vladimir-dyatchin-open-water-1024x727.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/vladimir-dyatchin-open-water-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"Photo Courtesy: Openwaterpedia\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-59132\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-59132\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy: Openwaterpedia<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nWe\u2019ve known for more than six months that open water star Vladimir Dyatchin had failed a drug test at last summer\u2019s Russian open water nationals, but what was not known until now was that he was given a two-year suspension that was going to keep him from qualifying for the 2016 Olympics. Dyatchin told Russian media that he was going to retire and focus on the administrative side of swimming. This is the third major positive drug test for Russia since fall 2013, a black eye for a country in the middle of preparing to host the world championships. A German documentary has revealed an administrative regime of doping in Russia, where athletes were taught how to evade drug testers and cover-ups ruled supreme. FINA has yet to act against Russia, and various notable names in swimming have called on FINA to impose sanctions on Russia immediately.<\/p>\n<h2>The Week That Was #2: Missy Franklin swims final collegiate dual meet<\/h2>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_104109\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/missy-franklin-interview-summer-nationals-20141.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-104109\" data-attachment-id=\"104109\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/week-historic-meets-highlight-top-five-swimming-headlines\/missy-franklin-interview-summer-nationals-2014-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/missy-franklin-interview-summer-nationals-20141.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2400,1600\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;5&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;1407353679&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;116&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;160&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.005&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"missy-franklin-interview-summer-nationals-2014\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;missy-franklin-interview-summer-nationals-2014&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" 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\/missy-franklin-interview-summer-nationals-20141-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/missy-franklin-interview-summer-nationals-20141-1024x682.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/missy-franklin-interview-summer-nationals-20141-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"Photo Courtesy: Griffin Scott\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-104109\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-104109\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy: Griffin Scott<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nMissy Franklin is closing out her time as a collegiate athlete, and marked her final dual meet with a team victory over Stanford Saturday. Franklin won only the 200 back, and was second in two other events. Franklin will be turning pro after the NCAA championships this year, a plan that had been in place since her high school days. In her two collegiate seasons, Franklin has made a major impact on the sport both in and out of the pool. Surely that will continue when she becomes a professional swimmer, but her presence in the collegiate race pool will be sorely missed.<\/p>\n<h2>The Week That Was #1: Carmel High School breaks three relay national high school records<\/h2>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_123260\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Carmel-400-FR-IHSAA-SD-2015-1604.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-123260\" src=\"http:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Carmel-400-FR-IHSAA-SD-2015-1604-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"Carmel-400-FR\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-123260\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-123260\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy: Peter H.

For the first time in swimming history, one school owns all three girls overall national high school relay records. Carmel broke 1:40 in the 200 medley relay with a 1:39.25, demolished the 3:20 barrier with a 3:15.38 in the 400 free relay and lowered the 200 free relay record down to 1:30.72. For good measure, all 27 girls on the team scored points, highlighted by the 22.15 by Amy Bilquist in the 50 free and a 48.36 in the 100 free. Carmel won all but two swimming events at the Indiana state meet, and it looks like winning state title number 30 is not in question. If that happens, Carmel will hold the record outright for the most consecutive high school state titles, which they co-own with Punahou High School\u2019s boys swimming and diving team. It\u2019s also a likely scenario that Carmel will win this year\u2019s <i>Swimming World Magazine<\/i> Girls High School Team title.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TUCSON \u2013
