Fellow breaststroker\u00a0<strong>Nicole Williams\u00a0<\/strong>of Columbia Swim Club used her aptitude in the third leg of the race to eek out the silver and a 2:03.99. She touched out 13-year-old <strong>Kate McCarville\u00a0<\/strong>of Springfield Aquatics, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/columbia-sectionals-kate-mccarville-michael-andrew-dominate-on-night-2\/\">last night&#8217;s victor in the 400<\/a>, by a mere hundredth of a second.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Race Pace Club&#8217;s Andrew<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>blazed to predictable victory in the men&#8217;s 200 IM. His time of 1:43.27 is just shy of his best&#8211;1:42.77&#8211;but the swim still placed him a whopping six seconds ahead of the pack.\u00a0<strong>Dane Florea\u00a0<\/strong>of Columbia Swim Club, fresh off his win in the 400 IM last night, charged just ahead of Wichita Swim Club&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Benjamin Patton<\/strong>, who he had been trailing for most of the race,<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>with an aggressive 25.52 freestyle leg. Florea squeezed in for silver in 1:49.86 and was tightly followed by Patton at 1:49.93.<\/p>\n<p>The tight finishes continued in the women&#8217;s 50 freestyle. <strong>Iliana Jones\u00a0<\/strong>of the University of Missouri topped the field with a 22.91. Close behind her, <strong>Bailey Grinter <\/strong>of Edwardsville YMCA,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/tennessee-picks-up-verbal-commit-from-ynational-champ-bailey-grinter\/\"> who has committed to Tennessee<\/a>, stopped the clock in 22.96. <strong>Megan Keil\u00a0<\/strong>of Wichita Aqua Shocks lost to Grinter by the blink of an eye; she earned bronze with a 22.98.<\/p>\n<p>On the men&#8217;s side, Andrew dueled once again with Great Omaha&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Jacob Molacek<\/strong>. In a repeat of the turn of events last night, when Andrew swam the back-to-back 100 breast and 100 fly and lost his second race to Molacek, tonight Molacek once again beat out Andrew, fresh out of the 200 IM. Molacek dropped only a hundredth from the morning for a 19.08, while Andrew dropped 0.23 from the morning, for a 19.31. Oklahoma Baptist University&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Julien Goyetche<\/strong> closed in for the bronze with a 19.97.<\/p>\n<p>In the 200 breaststroke,\u00a0<strong>Hanna Newby\u00a0<\/strong>looked for redemption after a close loss to Columbia Swim Club&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Nicole Williams\u00a0<\/strong>last night in the 100. Despite being led for most of the race by\u00a0<strong>Evie Pfeifer\u00a0<\/strong>of CSP Tideriders, in the final fifty yards, Newby brought home the race for a 2:13.65. Despite losing out on the gold, the Columbia breaststrokers still came away with podium spots; Peifer was just behind Newby, in 2:13.82, and Williams hit the pad in 2:16.40 for third.<\/p>\n<p>In the men&#8217;s race,\u00a0<strong>Fernando Morillas<\/strong>, swimming unattached, held his top seed from the morning to dominate the field. His 1:58.46 was bolstered by consistent splits: 26.97, 30.09, 30.35, and 31.05.\u00a0The University of Missouri&#8217;s <strong>Nick Staver<\/strong>, the runner-up in last night&#8217;s 100 breaststroke, once again claimed silver in the longer breaststroke event, in 2:00.82. <strong>Samuel Drew\u00a0<\/strong>of\u00a0Empire KC Swim Club rounded out the group in 2:02.54.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kylie Dahlgren<\/strong>, swimming under the\u00a0University of Missouri banner, led the way for the entire 100 backstsroke, for the race-winning time of 53.40.\u00a0Her teammate,\u00a0<strong>Samantha Wilts<\/strong>, held near, but it was\u00a0Clayton Shaw Park&#8217;s Pfeifer, just off the 200 breast, who closed the race for silver and a speedy 53.74. Wilts claimed third with a 54.27.<\/p>\n<p>The men&#8217;s backstroke brought Molacek another victory, while Andrew showed the effects of his two prior races. Molacek won gold in 47.08, and\u00a0<strong>Nick Alexander\u00a0<\/strong>of University of Missouri nabbed the silver in 47.44, just ahead of Rockwood Swim Club&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Jack Dolan<\/strong>. Andrew barely snuck in for fourth.<\/p>\n<p>In the final individual event of the evening, the 500 freestyle, it was SwimTulsa&#8217;s\u00a0Howell who claimed gold and defended her title as the meet&#8217;s distance female distance force. Howell was threatened once again, just as in the 1000, by the Kansas City Blazers&#8217; <strong>Katherine Sullivan<\/strong>, whose first three hundreds earned her a solid lead and an impressive end time of 4:51.97. Howell rallied in the final 200, however, for 4:51.81 and the gold. <strong>Katelyn Blattner\u00a0<\/strong>of the Wichita Aqua Shocks was the next closest competitor, in 4:54.74.<\/p>\n<p>The men&#8217;s field was more wide open, with\u00a0<strong>Kevin Callan\u00a0<\/strong>of Trident Aquatics blowing away his competitors for a final time of 4:14.66.\u00a0While Callan caught his breath,\u00a0Empire KC Swim Club&#8217;s <strong>William Bresette<\/strong>\u00a0just touched out Columbia Swim Club&#8217;s Florea. Florea swam a strong back half for a 4:27.79, but it was Bresette who got his hand into the wall for silver and a 4:27.86.<\/p>\n<p>In the women&#8217;s 400 medley relay, victory went to the Clayton Shaw Tideriders, in 3:46. thanks in no small part to an impressive breaststroke leg (1:02.45) swam by Pfeifer. Parkway Swim Club, bolstered by\u00a0<strong>Karisa Franz\u00a0<\/strong>in the butterfly leg (53.91) was good for silver, in 3:48.19. The host team, Columbia Swim Club, was not far behind, in 3:48.80.<\/p>\n<p>The men&#8217;s 400 medley relay finished out the night with an upset; Oklahoma Baptist University (3:19.62) beat out Greater Omaha Aquatics (3:21.73) for gold. Greater Omaha had Molacek swimming backstroke, but OBU&#8217;s Goyeteche was better rested for the task.\u00a0<strong>Thomas Peterson\u00a0<\/strong>built on Goyeteche&#8217;s work with a 56.76 in the breast. GOAL&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Colin Lafave\u00a0<\/strong>put in a valiant effort in the fly (57.67), but ultimately OBU&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Austin Saunders\u00a0<\/strong>(45.63), in the anchor role, was able to put the cherry on top of OBU&#8217;s steady effort. Parkway Swim Club snagged the third rank, in 3:25.53, just ahead of River City Aquatics.<\/p>\n<p>The Columbia excitement will reach its peak tomorrow, on the final day of the meet, with the 200 back, 100 free, 200 fly, 1650, and 400 free relay.<\/p>\n<p><em>All results can be found on Meet Mobile \u2013 2017 Speedo Sectionals Championship Series<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Katie Wingert, Swimming World College Intern.\u00a0 Jacob Molacek touched out Michael Andrew twice,\u00a0and\u00a0Liberty Howell\u00a0celebrated\u00a0another distance title on the third night of Speedo Sectionals in Columbia.
