COLORADO Stars&#039; Missy Franklin doubled up on the night with a U.S. Open and meet record in her world-record event of the women&#039;s 200-meter backstroke at the U.S. Nationals and World Championships.  Franklin went out pretty strong at the 100, then cruised her way to victory, potentially saving up a world-record performance for Barcelona.<\/p>\n<p>Franklin ripped off a 2:05.68 to win the distance dorsal this evening, bettering her world-best time of 2:06.33 from prelims this morning.  Her effort this evening surpassed Margaret Hoelzer&#039;s U.S. Open and meet record of 2:06.09 set in 2008, and also gave Franklin her third title of the meet in three tries.  Franklin will be gunning for her world record of 2:04.06 next month at Worlds.<\/p>\n<p>Franklin&#039;s future California teammate Elizabeth Pelton made the Worlds roster after a disappointing third-place finish at Trials last year as Pelton blasted a time of 2:06.29 to move to second in the world.  Yes, that&#039;s right, Teri McKeever could have the top two 200 backstrokers in the world training together starting next year at Cal.    That&#039;s a big personal best for Pelton, as she previously went 2:07.48 at the 2010 Pan Pacific Championships.<\/p>\n<p>BlueFish&#039;s Elizabeth Beisel wound up taking third in 2:07.64 to move to fourth in the world, demonstrating just how scary deep the U.S. is in this event.    Longhorn&#039;s Sarah Denninghoff earned fourth-place honors in 2:10.16.<\/p>\n<p>Tucson Ford&#039;s Bonnie Brandon (2:10.24), SwimMAC&#039;s Kathleen Baker (2:10.92), Dynamo&#039;s Kylie Stewart (2:11.51) and AquaKids&#039; Clara Smiddy (2:12.27) posted the other finale finishes. <\/p>\n<p>Mission Viejo&#039;s Melanie Klaren turned in a time of 2:11.94 to top the B final.  That&#039;s a full second drop from her personal best of 2:12.94 set earlier this morning.  <\/p>\n<p>Hannah Moore took home the C final victory with a time of 2:13.61, just off her lifetime best of 2:13.02 from 2012 Trials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coverage proudly sponsored by ArenaUSA.
