Women\u2019s 200 IM (Semi-final)<\/b><\/h3>\n

National record holder <\/span>Yui Ohhashi <\/b>was the first qualifier out of semi-finals with a 2:11.36, about three seconds faster than he 3rd seed out of prelims from earlier in the day. Just behind her were <\/span>Miho Teramura <\/b>with a 2:11.56 and <\/span>Sakiko Shimizu <\/b>with a 2:11.79, setting up for a potentially very close final.<\/span><\/p>\n

Men\u2019s 200 IM (Semi-final)<\/b><\/h3>\n

Olympic gold medalist and IM specialist <\/span>Kosuke Hagino <\/b>led all qualifiers through the semi-finals of the 200 IM, posting a top time of 1:57.70. Hagino is already a silver medalist at this meet in the 400 freestyle, but scratched the 200 free to presumably focus on the IM events. In second about one second back was <\/span>Daiya Seto<\/b>, who moved up from his 10th position after prelims.<\/span><\/p>\n

Women\u2019s 50 Freestyle (Semi-final)<\/b><\/h3>\n

17-year old <\/span>Rikako Ikee <\/b>is the top seed coming out of the 50 free semi-finals with a 24.75. Similar to Seto in the 200 IM she was only 10th out of the morning\u2019s prelims but really put on the gas in semi-finals tonight to secure a middle lane for the final. Ikee was the only swimmer under 25 in the event, with <\/span>Mayuka Yamamoto <\/b>qualifying closest with a 25.48.<\/span><\/p>\n

Men\u2019s 50 Freestyle (Semi-final)<\/b><\/h3>\n

Shinri Shioura <\/b>was the top qualifier out of semi-finals in the men\u2019s 50 free with a 22.01, followed closely by national record holder <\/span>Katsumi Nakamura<\/b> who qualified second with a 22.10. Joining them in the middle of the pool will be <\/span>Kosuke Matsui<\/b>, who was just behind in 22.12 after posting a personal best 22.06 in the prelims to have the top seed coming into semis. <\/span><\/p>\n

Men\u2019s 200 Butterfly (Semi-final)<\/b><\/h3>\n

The men\u2019s 200 butterfly looks to be a tight final, with the top three qualifiers all posting 1:55\u2019s and the next two just a few tenths back. Swimming in the first heat, <\/span>Daiya Seto <\/b>swam to a strong 1:55.77 that would end up as the second seed by a tenth after a close second heat. <\/span>Yuuya Yajima <\/b>won that heat in 1:55.67 to become the top qualifier for tomorrow\u2019s final. He finished just ahead of <\/span>Nao Horomora <\/b>(1:55.92) and <\/span>Takumi Terada <\/b>(1:56.04). Notably, Yajima was a 1:55.05 out of prelims, a best time and the fastest 200 fly of the meet so far.<\/span><\/p>\n

Men\u2019s 1500 Freestyle<\/b><\/h3>\n

Two men went under 15:00 in the final of the men\u2019s 1500, with <\/span>Syogo Takeda <\/b>(14:55.42) and <\/span>Ayatsugu Hirai <\/b>(14:58.88). Takeda led the race the whole way, while Hirai used a strong back half to grab second. Takeda\u2019s time was less than a second off of <\/span>Kohei Yamamoto\u2019s<\/b> 2014 national record of 14:54.80. Yamamoto himself finished third in this race, touching in 15:05.06 to finish about 10 seconds back from the leader.<\/span><\/p>\n

Women\u2019s 100 Backstroke<\/b><\/h3>\n

Anna Konishi <\/b>grabbed gold in the 100 backstroke with a 59.62 after finishing third earlier in the meet in the 50 back. Joining her under a minute in second was <\/span>Natsumi Sakai<\/b>, the champion in the 50 back on the first day of the meet, in 59.83, while <\/span>Emi Moronuki <\/b>was third in 1:00.52.<\/span><\/p>\n

Women\u2019s 100 Breaststroke<\/b><\/h3>\n

Reona Aoki <\/b>blew away the field with a 1:05.90 in the women\u2019s 100 breast, the only swimmer under 1:06. That was only .02 off of <\/span>Kanako Watanabe\u2019s <\/b>national record of 1:05.88 from 2014. More than a half second back in second was <\/span>Satomi Suzuki<\/b>, who broke the national record in the 50 breast earlier in the meet, with a 1:06.52, followed by Watanabe in 1:06.60.<\/span><\/p>\n

Men\u2019s 50 Backstroke<\/b><\/h3>\n

Top seed <\/span>Junya Koga <\/b>was the champion in the men\u2019s 50 backstroke, finishing in 24.56. That is about 3-tenths off of his own national record but it was still good for a win by nearly a second. The closest finisher to him was <\/span>Hiroki Sakurai <\/b>with a 25.44 followed by <\/span>Junya Hasegawa <\/b>in 25.52.<\/span><\/p>\n

Men\u2019s 50 Breaststroke<\/b><\/h3>\n

After a few near misses the crowd did see a national record come in the 50 breast, with <\/span>Yasuhiro Koseki <\/b>setting a new national mark of 27.12 to take gold. This is Koseki\u2019s second gold of the meet after winning the 100 breast yesterday in 59.30. In second was <\/span>Masaki Niiyama <\/b>in 27.52 followed by <\/span>Hayato Watanabe <\/b>in third with a 27.56.<\/span><\/p>\n

Women\u2019s 200 Freestyle<\/b><\/h3>\n

Chihiro Igarashi <\/b>won a close 200 free final, taking the win by two-tenths in 1:57.73. Igarashi was second going into the last 50 but finished strong to just zip by second place finisher <\/span>Yui Ohhashi <\/b>(1:57.97). That was Ohhashi\u2019s second swim of the night after qualifying first through semi\u2019s in the 200 IM. In third was <\/span>Tomomi Aoki<\/b> (1:58.14), while <\/span>Aya Takano <\/b>finished fourth (1:58.55).<\/span><\/p>\n

Men\u2019s 200 Freestyle<\/b><\/h3>\n

Katsuhiro Matsumoto <\/b>took the top spot in the men\u2019s 200 free with a 1:45.93. Similar to Igarashi in the women\u2019s 200, Matsumoto was sitting second at the 150 but used a strong last 50 to best the field by 4-tenths of a second. In second was <\/span>Naito Ehara <\/b>in 1:46.35. Top seed <\/span>Reo Sakata <\/b>faded to third in the final (1:47.61), while <\/span>Yuuki Kobori <\/b>was fourth in 1:48.69.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
