That was .27 off of her morning swim that broke\u00a0<strong>Mary T. Meagher&#8217;s\u00a0<\/strong>record from 1981. The 24-year-old Georgia swimmer led from 100 and didn&#8217;t look back, turning at 1:00.01 for a slightly faster out than this morning before fading just a touch relative to this morning on the second 100.<\/p>\n<p>In second was Stanford&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Katie Drabot\u00a0<\/strong>in 2:07.18, while\u00a0<strong>Regan Smith <\/strong>was just behind her in 2:07.42. That was another huge drop for Smith, who had already taken 2 seconds off of her lifetime best with her morning swim of 2:08.87. That also moves her to #2 all-time for 15-16 year olds, behind Meagher&#8217;s old U.S. Open record that she posted when she was just 16.<\/p>\n<p>In fourth was\u00a0<strong>Dakota Luther\u00a0<\/strong>in 2:08.09, while\u00a0<strong>Olivia Carter\u00a0<\/strong>(2:09.40),\u00a0<strong>Asia Seidt\u00a0<\/strong>(2:09.62),\u00a0<strong>Sarah Gibson\u00a0<\/strong>(2:10.00), and\u00a0<strong>Taylor Pike\u00a0<\/strong>(2:10.50) rounded out the rest of the A final.\u00a016-year-old <strong>Lindsay Looney\u00a0<\/strong>won the B-final in 2:10.03, dropping about half a second from her time this morning\u00a0after qualifying 10th.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"320783\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/hali-flickinger-wins-200-fly-to-open-u-s-nationals-just-off-morning-record\/womens200fly\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/womens200fly.png\" data-orig-size=\"1594,922\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"womens200fly\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;womens200fly&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy:&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/womens200fly-700x500.png\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/womens200fly-1024x592.png\" class=\"wp-image-320783 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/womens200fly.png\" alt=\"womens200fly\" width=\"1594\" height=\"922\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/womens200fly.png 1594w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/womens200fly-533x308.png 533w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/womens200fly-280x162.png 280w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/womens200fly-1024x592.png 1024w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/womens200fly-150x87.png 150w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/womens200fly-500x289.png 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1594px) 100vw, 1594px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hali Flickinger\u00a0was just off of her U.S. Open record this morning but still pulled out a win in the first final of the meet with a 2:06.14.
