Harry Homans<\/strong> gave him a strong push on both occasions, but no one could stop\u00a0Jake Johnson\u00a0<\/strong>in either the 200 back or 200 fly on the final night of competition at the CeraVe Invitational in Piscataway, N.J.<\/p>\n

Johnson, who had already won both the 100 fly and 100 back at the meet while representing Delaware Swim Team, finished first in the 200 back in 2:05.54, just touching out Bluefish’s Homans. Almost dead even at each turn. Johnson finished in 2:05.54, to Homans’ 2:05.70.<\/p>\n

A few events later, Johnson pulled away from Homans down the stretch to win the men’s 200 fly in 2:05.89. Homans was second in 2:07.21.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere,\u00a0Long Island’s\u00a0Jason Louser<\/strong> completed the men’s breaststroke sweep, dominating the 200-meter event in 2:14.57. Delaware’s\u00a0Olivia Paoletti<\/strong> was aiming for the same accomplishment, but she ended up finishing just behind Badger’s\u00a0Carly Cummings\u00a0<\/strong>at the touch, 2:35.50 to 2:35.70.<\/p>\n

Already with wins in the 50, 200 and 400 free in her pocket, North Baltimore’s\u00a0Easop Lee\u00a0<\/strong>won the women’s 200 fly in 2:15.41.\u00a0Suburban Seahawks’\u00a0Alex Sumner\u00a0<\/strong>posted a dominant effort in the women’s 200 back, finishing in 2:14.57.<\/p>\n

Berkeley’s\u00a0Ana Bogdanovski<\/strong> won the women’s 100 free in 57.46, and Eastern Epxress’\u00a0Vinny Marciano<\/strong> won the men’s 100 free in 53.18.<\/p>\n

The women’s 1500 free opened the final evening of competition, and Badger’s\u00a0Nathalie Eid\u00a0<\/strong>cruised to a win, finishing in 17:13.42. Then, after finishing second on numerous occasions, Bluefish’s\u00a0Will Barao\u00a0<\/strong>picked up his first win of the meet in the final individual event, the men’s mile. He posted a time of 16:07.82.<\/p>\n

Long Island’s\u00a0CJ Arena<\/strong> competed in the men’s 200 fly final, got out of the pool and immediately walked behind lane five for the mile without even removing his goggles. He ended up posting a gutty swim and finishing second in 16:07.82.<\/p>\n

In the women’s 400 free relay, North Baltimore led by more than a bodylength with 100 meters to go, but an amazing anchor from Berkeley got the home team in ahead, 3:55.50 to 3:55.78. NBAC then dominated the men’s 400 free relay with a final time of 3:32.20.<\/p>\n

The Bluefish “B” relay, a foursome of all 11-12 boys, made a run at a National Age Group record but finished just short. The team of\u00a0Tyler Lutz<\/strong>,\u00a0James Misto<\/strong>,\u00a0Erik Watka<\/strong> and\u00a0Landon Him<\/strong> finished in 3:58.63, just over a half second off the National Age Group mark of 3:58.04 set by the Cincinnati Marlins in 2014.<\/p>\n
