Hosszu powered her way to a top time of 2:09.77, adding .07 to her time from this morning.<\/p>\n

She’s been much faster with a 10th-ranked 2:08.00 from the Charlotte stop of the Arena Pro Swim Series.<\/p>\n

West Vancouver’s Emily Overholt<\/strong> turned in a second-place time of 2:10.75, cutting four-and-a-half seconds off her time from this morning.<\/p>\n

Men’s 200 fly<\/strong><\/p>\n

NBAC’s Michael Phelps<\/strong> withstood a tough final 25 meters to secure the men’s 200-meter fly title at the Arena Pro Swim Series Santa Clara.<\/p>\n

Phelps uncorked a winning time of 1:57.62 after going out in 55.56. \u00a0That’s Phelps’ best 200 fly time since his comeback, clearing the 1:58.90 he clocked this morning during prelims.<\/p>\n

He sill has some time to drop to get into the world-class range as Laszlo Cseh is 10th in the world with a 1:55.95. \u00a0 Andrew Seliskar<\/strong> is still the top-ranked American with a ninth-ranked 1:55.92 from Austin.<\/p>\n

Phelps’ teammate Chase Kalisz<\/strong> checked in with a second-place time of 1:58.06, while California’s Tom Shields<\/strong> settled for third with a time of 1:58.28.<\/p>\n

Stanford’s Simone Manuel<\/strong> nearly moved into the top 10 in the world with a win in the women’s 50-meter free at the Arena Pro Swim Series Santa Clara.<\/p>\n

Manuel raced her way to a 24.75 to move to 11th in the world. \u00a0That’s her third-fastest time ever, behind a lifetime best 24.56 from last summer’s nationals.<\/p>\n

The Netherlands’ Femke Heemskerk<\/strong> nearly chased her down with a second-place time of 24.79. \u00a0She’s been faster this year with an eighth-ranked season best of 24.57 from the Eindhoven Swim Cup.<\/p>\n

California’s Natalie Coughlin<\/strong>, the veteran of the bunch at 32 years old, nearly popped another lifetime best here in Santa Clara with a third-place 24.97. \u00a0That’s just off her 24.90 from the 2013 Mesa stop of the Arena Pro Swim Series.<\/p>\n

SwimMAC’s Madison Kennedy<\/strong> touched fourth in 25.13 with California’s Farida Osman<\/strong> turning in a fifth-place 25.20.<\/p>\n

Tucson Ford’s Margo Geer<\/strong> (25.21), Etiene Medeiros<\/strong> (25.21), Lia Neal<\/strong> (25.35) and Wisconsin’s Ivy Martin<\/strong> (25.52) also competed for the title.<\/p>\n

Men’s 50 free<\/strong><\/p>\n

California’s Nathan Adrian<\/strong> grabbed eighth in the world rankings in the men’s 50-meter free at the Arena Pro Swim Series Santa Clara.<\/p>\n

Adrian threw down a 21.97 against a loaded A final. That swim jumped Adrian into eighth in the world rankings ahead of a 21.98 from the injured James Magnussen<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Auburn’s Bruno Fratus<\/strong>, who stands third in the world with a 21.74, wound up second tonight in 22.02. \u00a0Trojan’s Vlad Morozov<\/strong>, ranked second in the world with a 21.65, wound up third in 22.27.<\/p>\n

Women’s 100 back<\/strong><\/p>\n

Iron Lady Katinka Hosszu<\/strong> doubled up with a sizzler in the women’s 100-meter back at the Arena Pro Swim Series Santa Clara.<\/p>\n

Just minutes after winning the 200 fly, Hosszu returned with a near-Hungarian record time of 59.69. \u00a0That time is just off her fifth-ranked season best of 59.47 from the Charlotte stop, and her Hungarian mark of 59.36 from 2014.<\/p>\n

California’s Elizabeth Pelton<\/strong> chased down second tonight with a time of 1:00.31, while Colorado Stars’ Missy Franklin<\/strong> wound up taking third overall in 1:00.65.<\/p>\n

Franklin is swimming her first meet since turning professional following NCAAs in March, and has been open that she’s knocking off some cobwebs here in Santa Clara<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mexico’s Fernanda Gonzalez Ramirez<\/strong> (1:01.41), Club Wolverine’s Ali Deloof<\/strong> (1:01.59), Erin Voss<\/strong> (1:01.63), Etienne Medeiros<\/strong> (1:02.09), Gisela Morales<\/strong> (1:02.19) and Tasija Karosas<\/strong> (1:02.56) finished fourth through ninth tonight.<\/p>\n

Men’s 100 back<\/strong><\/p>\n

California’s Ryan Murphy<\/strong> threw down a sub-54 to win the men’s 100-meter back at the Arena Pro Swim Series Santa Clara.<\/p>\n

Murphy raced his way to a time of 53.83, nearly moving into the top 10 in the world held by Camille Lacourt<\/strong> with a 53.60.<\/p>\n

That’s near his in-season best of 53.57 set at the 2013 Georgia Long Course Sectionals, and just missed his best time this year of 53.82 from Austin.<\/p>\n

Tucson Ford’s Matt Grevers<\/strong>, the top ranked American of the year with a fifth-ranked 53.27 from the Austin stop, ran into the lane line with 15 meters left and still managed to hold on to silver with a 54.45.<\/p>\n

NYAC’s David Plummer<\/strong> checked in with a bronze-winning time of 54.55, while Club Wolverine’s Junya Koga<\/strong> also cleared 55 seconds with a fourth-place 54.88.<\/p>\n

Tucson Ford’s Nick Thoman<\/strong> (55.25), California’s Jacob Pebley<\/strong> (55.34), PASA’s Eugene Godsoe<\/strong> (55.79), RAC’s Mohamed Hussein<\/strong> (55.88) and Gator’s Corey Main<\/strong> (55.93) closed out the rest of the championship heat.<\/p>\n

Michael Andrew<\/strong>, the 16-year-old national age group record hunter, nearly popped a lifetime best in the B final with a 55.78. \u00a0Andrew, who shaved for this meet, just missed his 55.73 best swam at both the Senior and Junior Nationals last summer.<\/p>\n

Women’s 200 breast<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trojan’s Yuliya Efimova<\/strong> turned on the jets down the stretch to win the women’s 200-meter breast at the Arena Pro Swim Series Santa Clara.<\/p>\n

Efimova, who stunned many by cruising into finals with a 2:30 this morning, dominated the finale in a time of 2:23.64. \u00a0That’s not near her season best of 2:22.12 from Russian Nationals that ranks fifth in the world, but was nearly two full seconds clear of the field.<\/p>\n

Gator’s Hilda Luthersdottir<\/strong> claimed second tonight in a time of 2:25.61, while BlueFish’s Laura Sogar<\/strong> snared third overall in 2:27.04.<\/p>\n

Argentina’s Julia Sebastian<\/strong> dropped six seconds from her prelim swim to win the B final in a time of 2:30.70.<\/p>\n

Men’s 200 breast<\/strong><\/p>\n

Badger’s Cody Miller<\/strong> cracked 2:10 for the first time in his career in the men’s 200-meter breast at the Arena Pro Swim Series Santa Clara.<\/p>\n

Miller touched out California’s Josh Prenot<\/strong>, 2:09.71 to 2:09.91. \u00a0This swim follows Miller putting up a lifetime best in the 100 to win last night<\/a>. \u00a0Miller’s time downed his previous best of 2:10.28 from the Orlando stop of the Arena Pro Swim Series, and moved him to 13th in the world rankings.<\/p>\n

Prenot, who has been 2:09 before with a 2:09.30 lifetime best, became just the 15th swimmer to break 2:10 this year as he moved to 15th in the world.<\/p>\n

FIAT’s Thiago Pereira<\/strong> wound up third in a time of 2:14.11, while Wisconsin’s Nick Schafer<\/strong> finished fourth in 2:14.80.<\/p>\n

Louisville’s Carlos Claverie<\/strong> (2:15.05), SoFlo’s Jorge Murillo Valdes<\/strong> (2:17.30), Louisville’s Thomas Dahlia<\/strong> (2:17.47) and NBAC’s Chase Kalisz<\/strong> (2:18.83) also vied for the title, while Scottsdale’s Carl Mickelson<\/strong> drew a disqualification.<\/p>\n

PASA’s BJ Johnson<\/strong> crushed the B final with a time of 2:14.55, downing the rest of the field by more than a second.<\/p>\n

Women’s 50 fly<\/strong><\/p>\n

California’s Farida Osman<\/strong> set an African record in the women’s 50-meter fly for the win at the Arena Pro Swim Series Santa Clara.<\/p>\n

Osman hit the wall in a personal best 26.08 to break her own record of 26.12 from the 2013 World Championships in Barcelona. The swim moved her to 16th in the world rankings.<\/p>\n

SESI’s Daynara De Paula<\/strong> finished second tonight in 26.37 with Wisconsin’s Ivy Martin<\/strong> taking third in 26.42.<\/p>\n

Aliena Schmidtke<\/strong> (26.55), SoFlo’s Alia Atkinson<\/strong> (26.65), Stanford’s Felicia Lee<\/strong> (26.98), North Carolina’s Hellen Moffitt<\/strong> (27.04), Stanford’s Simone Manuel<\/strong> (27.39) and Stanford’s Lia Neal<\/strong> (27.45) also battled in the finale.<\/p>\n

Longhorn’s Lisa Boyce<\/strong> tracked down the consolation heat win in 27.12, while PASA’s Leah Goldman<\/strong> placed second in 27.21.<\/p>\n

Men’s 50 fly<\/strong><\/p>\n

Phoenix’s Giles Smith<\/strong> turned in a personal best to win the men’s 50-meter fly at the Arena Pro Swim Series Santa Clara.<\/p>\n

Smith clocked a time of 23.30 to blast his previous top time of 23.65 from prelims. \u00a0Coming into today, his personal best had been a 23.88 from last summer’s nationals.<\/p>\n

Smith’s time tonight vaulted him to fourth in the world.<\/p>\n

Women’s 400 free<\/strong><\/p>\n

NBAC’s Lotte Friis<\/strong> charged her way to the finish to win the women’s 400-meter free at the Arena Pro Swim Series Santa Clara.<\/p>\n

Friis, who is still considering exactly where she will end up after Bob Bowman left NBAC to Arizona State<\/a>, won the finale in a time of 4:07.17. \u00a0That’s still a bit off the world top 10 of 4:05.86 held by Cao Yue<\/strong>, but was enough to claim the first-place check tonight.<\/p>\n

West Vancouver’s Emily Overholt<\/strong> placed second tonight in 4:07.93, while NBAC’s Cierra Runge<\/strong> checked in with a third-place time of 4:08.38.<\/p>\n

The Woodlands’ Michael McBroom<\/strong> added the 400 free to his 800 free victory at the Arena Pro Swim Series Santa Clara.<\/p>\n

In an intense battle with Club Wolverine’s Connor Jaeger<\/strong>, McBroom edged Jaeger, 3:48.59 to 3:48.75. \u00a0That’s McBroom’s second win of the weekend thus far.<\/p>\n
