SEVENTEEN year-old Aaron Peirsol set a US Open record of 1:56.56 in the 200 meter backstroke on the fifth night of comptition at the US National Swimming Championships in Austin, Texas. In doing so, he became the second fastest man in history.  <\/p>\n<p>Only world record-holder and 2000 Olympic champion, Lenny Krayzelburg, has swum faster. Krayzelburg set the world record of 1:55.87 at the 1999 Pan Pacific Championships.  Krayzelburg did not compete here, having decided to pass on the World Championships to compete at the Maccabiah Games.<\/p>\n<p>Texas Aquatics&#39; Colleen Lanne, the NCAA champion, won the women&#39;s 100 meter freestyle in 55.20.  Maritza Correia and Lindsay Benko tied for second in 55.51.  In a swim-off for the second spot, and a berth on the US World Championships team, Benko clocked 55.28 to Correia&#39;s 55.42.<\/p>\n<p>Lanne, who had never before made the finals at the National championships, was overjoyed with her win.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;I couldn&#39;t see the scoreboard clearly after I touched, but I could<br \/>\nsee my teammates going nuts.  There were three of us in the race, so I knew one of us did really well.<\/p>\n<p>When Lanne called her mom to tell her the news, Cyndi Lanne said: &quot;That&#39;s wonderful.  This National meet&#8211;is it a big meet?&quot;  Lanne commented: &quot;My mom always thought I was fast so for her, nothing has changed.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Olympic silver medalist Kristy Kowal won the women&#39;s 200 meter breaststroke in 2:26.57.  Taking the lead after the first turn, Kowal used her long, smooth stroke to outdistance a strong field.  Amanda Beard, the 2000 Olympic bronze medalist, was second.<\/p>\n<p>Kowal, who has been working as a student-teacher and training on her own acknowledged; &quot;I was more scared coming in to this meet than Olympic Trials.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Now I am really excited to be swimming both the 100 and the 200 meter breaststroke events at World Championships.&quot;  kowal predicted she would improve on the American record (2;24.56) she set at the Olympic Games in winning silver.<\/p>\n<p>Tom Wilkens, the Olympic bronze medalist in th 200m individual medley, came from behind to win the event in 2:01.58, just out-touching Robert Margalis.  &#39;I&#39;m excited to be on the world Championship teaam again,&quot; said Wilkens, &quot;and I&#39;m looking forward to swimming again against the Italian (Massi Rosolino, who won gold in Sydney).&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Olympic gold medalist Anthony Ervin won the 50m freestyle in 22.18, with his Olympic teammate Jason Lezak econd (22.35).  Ervin, who also won the 100 meters, commented: &quot;The 50 was a lot less painful.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Using a lightning-fast start, Ervin took the lead at the start and was nver headed.  &quot;I&#39;ve been tapering for eight weeks and this is my third shave,&quot; he said.  &quot;My stroke wasn&#39;t really on, but I&#39;m glad I made the World Championship team.<\/p>\n<p>FREESTYLE               <\/p>\n<p>World Record:        :53.77  INGE de BRUIJN        NED                9-20-00<br \/>\nUS Open Record:      :54.07  JENNY THOMPSON        STANFORD           8-14-00<br \/>\nAmerican Record:     :54.07  JENNY THOMPSON        STANFORD           8-14-00  <\/p>\n<p>RESULTS of FINALS      <\/p>\n<p> RANK    NAME             YEAR   TEAM            PRELIM                 TIME<\/p>\n<p>                               A  FINAL            <\/p>\n<p>  1)  LANNE, COLLEEN       21 UNIV.
