THE final day of the Arena Grand Prix in Charlotte is complete with plenty of amazing storylines being set up for this evening&#039;s finales.<\/p>\n<p><b>Women&#039;s 200 IM<\/b><br \/>\nSwimMAC&#039;s Kathleen Baker clipped her lifetime best in the preliminary heats of the shorter distance medley this morning.  Much to the pleasure of the hometown crowd, Baker dropped a 2:16.59 to lead the way out of prelims.  That performance is just her second under 2:17, beating her previous personal record of 2:16.90 set at the 2012 U.S. Trials.  Her previous in-season best had been a 2:19.40 at this meet a year ago.  That type of a time progression bodes well heading into the championship season this summer.<\/p>\n<p>Athens Bulldogs&#039; Shannon Vreeland, who has been tearing up the consolation heats throughout this meet, made her way into the big final in the 200 IM with a second-seeded 2:16.93.  Last year around this time, she threw down her lifetime best of 2:13.80 at the Longhorn Elite Meet.  It will be interesting if she can approach that type of swim this evening.  <\/p>\n<p>Louisville&#039;s Tanja Kylliainen continued a strong meet for the Cardinals with a third-seeded time of 2:17.02.  That&#039;s a personal best for her, beating the 2:17.30 she set at the Mesa stop of the Arena Grand Prix.  Along with Kelsi Worrell, the Louisville swimmers have been making their mark early on in this long course season.<\/p>\n<p>NBAC&#039;s Annie Zhu (2:17.80), Katie Meili (2:18.77), BlueFish&#039;s Brooke Zeiger (2:18.79), North Carolina&#039;s Cari Blalock (2:18.93) and Michigan&#039;s Marni Oldershaw (2:19.05) also found their way into the championship heat.  <\/p>\n<p>The consolation finals features some big names with Olympians Cammile Adams (2:19.08) and Elizabeth Beisel (2:19.72) qualifying 10th and 11th.<\/p>\n<p><b>Men&#039;s 200 IM<\/b><br \/>\nNBAC&#039;s Chase Kalisz raced his way to a top-seeded time of 2:02.18 in the medley.  Typically a rockstar in the distance medley at the 400-meter mark, Kalisz demonstrated some speed with his top time this morning.  He could put up a sub-2:00 this evening &#8212; he has three of those performances to his credit with a lifetime best of 1:59.51.  It will be interesting to see what he has in the tank tonight.<\/p>\n<p>Bolles&#039; Joseph Schooling posted his fifth Singapore national record-setting performance of the meet with a 2:03.26 for the second seed. That swim eclipsed his record of 2:03.61 set at the Orlando stop of the Arena Grand Prix in February, and put him in position to become the first male from Singapore to dip under 2:03.   Overall, Schooling owns five Singapore records with top times in the 50 fly, 100 fly, 200 fly, 200 IM and 200 free. <\/p>\n<p>American-record holder Ryan Lochte cruised into the championship heat with a third-seeded time of 2:03.74.  He typically has a tough time during in-season meets, but usually finds a way to post at least one special time at each event for his fans.  This might be that event.<\/p>\n<p>Mohamed Hussein (2:03.85), Michigan&#039;s Kyle Whitaker (2:03.93), NCAP&#039;s Andrew Seliskar (2:04.09), Lake Forest&#039;s Conor Dwyer (2:04.57) and Tennessee&#039;s Tristan Slater (2:04.97) all broke 2:05 to make their way into the championship finale. <\/p>\n<p><b>Women&#039;s 200 back<\/b><br \/>\nBlueFish&#039;s Brooke Zeiger just missed her lifetime best in the preliminary heats with a top-seeded time of 2:14.54.  That swim is only her second sub-2:15, nearly breaking her personal mark of 2:14.49 from the CeraVe Invitational earlier this year.  BlueFish is a backstroke factory, having produced Elizabeth Beisel, who also finished fourth this morning with a 2:15.87.<\/p>\n<p>Canada&#039;s Annie Harrison earned the second seed with a 2:14.93, while GMSC&#039;s Kaitlin Harty claimed the third seed with a time of 2:15.49.<\/p>\n<p>SAST&#039;s Vien Nguyen (2:15.87), Athens Bulldogs&#039; Megan Romano (2:16.51), DANA&#039;s Carolina Colorado (2:16.79) and Colombia&#039;s Isabella Arcila (2:17.47) qualified fifth through eighth to comprise the rest of the championship field.  <\/p>\n<p>This meet is definitely missing Missy Franklin in her top events, as she is ranked second in the world this year with a blazing 2:07.31 from the Austin stop of the Arena Grand Prix.  She is off celebrating her 18th-birthday weekend as part of the Warrior Games festivities. <\/p>\n<p><b>Men&#039;s 200 back<\/b><br \/>\nWisconsin&#039;s Andrew Teduits, the 100 back winner last night blasted a lifetime best effort during prelims of the distance dorsal in what will be his only swim of the day as he catches a flight before finals.  Teduits raced to a time of 1:59.59, clipping his previous best effort of 1:59.68 from the 2012 U.S. Open Championships.  That&#039;s his first in-season sub-2:00.  He has two other performances under the barrier with his previous lifetime best and a 1:59.69 from the U.S. Open as well.<\/p>\n<p>Ryan Lochte will be the top seed this evening after Teduits&#039; pending scratch after clocking a 2:02.01, while Tynan Stewart raced into third with a 2:02.10 this morning.  <\/p>\n<p>Bolles&#039; Ryan Murphy (2:02.28), Louisville&#039;s Pedro Oliveira (2:02.56), Jack Conger (2;02.74), BlueFish&#039;s Connor Green (2:03.16) and Luis Rojas (2;03.26) rounded out the top eight qualifiers, while Ohio State&#039;s Steven Zimmerman is next in line to take Teduits&#039; scratched spot with a ninth-place 2:03.34.<\/p>\n<p><B>Women&#039;s 100 free<\/b><br \/>\nThe women&#039;s 100-meter free finale will be a star-studded affair, led by Dana Vollmer this morning with a swift time of 55.69.  That swim is just a second-and-a-half outside of the top 10 in the world this year, and Vollmer has shown the proclivity this week to move into the top 10 in her events with a light workload in training so far this year. <\/p>\n<p>Athens Bulldogs&#039; Shannon Vreeland earned another A final berth with a second-seeded time of 55.78.   She has the potential to post a lifetime best tonight, with her morning swim less than a second off her 54.87 from the 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials last summer.  <\/p>\n<p>Trojan&#039;s Jessica Hardy is in line for a fourth title this week after clocking an easy speed 55.86 this morning in qualifying, while Vreeland&#039;s teammate Megan Romano jumped into fourth with a 55.96. <\/p>\n<p>SwimAtlanta&#039;s Amanda Weir (56.36), SwimMAC&#039;s Madison Kennedy (56.50), Faith Johnson (56.52) and SMU&#039;s Nathalie Lindborg (56.58) also picked up transfer spots into the championship field.  Olympian Lia Neal of AGUA just missed the top eight with a ninth-seeded time of 56.63.  <\/p>\n<p><B>Men&#039;s 100 free<\/b><br \/>\nThe men&#039;s sprint freestyle is just as loaded as the women&#039;s finale with some blazing times going up on the board this morning.  Auburn&#039;s Marcelo Chierighini blasted his way to a top seed with a sterling 49.62.  That&#039;s just a second outside of the top 10 in the world, but well off his fourth-ranked time of 48.11 from the Maria Lenk Trophy meet in Rio earlier this year.  He definitely has the potential to throw down an equally impressive time this evening.<\/p>\n<p>The burgeoning sprint demon Ricky Berens of Longhorn captured the second seed of the day with a 49.76.   Berens, who has typically focused more on the 200-meter distances, has continued to demonstrate sprint prowess this year as he retools his event schedule heading into Barcelona. <\/p>\n<p>Auburn&#039;s Adam Brown raced into third with a 49.95, while Club Wolverine&#039;s Michael Klueh wound up fourth in 50.46.  Longhorn&#039;s Garrett Weber-Gale (50.49) and a third Auburn-connected athlete in James Disney-May (50.52) also made the finale.<\/p>\n<p>California&#039;s Anthony Ervin, who traded good-natured barbs with Berens last night via Twitter, had the short end of the stick this morning with a seventh-seeded time of 50.75.  But, look for him to turn up the heat in the finale.  Bolles&#039; Mario Todorovic checked in with an eighth-seeded time of 50.80, while SwimMAC&#039;s Cullen Jones missed the championship finale with a ninth-seeded 50.87. <\/p>\n<p><script src=\"\/\/storify.com\/SwimmingWorld\/arena-grand-prix-charlotte-day-four-live-coverage.js?header=false\"><\/script><noscript>[<a href=\"\/\/storify.com\/SwimmingWorld\/arena-grand-prix-charlotte-day-four-live-coverage\" target=\"_blank\">View the story &#8220;Arena Grand Prix, Charlotte: Day Four LIVE Coverage&#8221; on Storify<\/a>]<\/noscript><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For full coverage of the Arena Grand Prix, Charlotte, including video interviews, full recaps, etc., check out our event coverage page.
